The company has shown a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 86,080,000 kg CO2e. In 2024, emissions are projected to be around 67,675,000 kg CO2e, with both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions equal at this figure, indicating a potential shift in their emissions profile. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were also reported in 2024, amounting to 67,675,000 kg CO2e, which highlights the company's commitment to transparency in its entire value chain. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Multichoice, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other climate pledges. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate action plans. Overall, Multichoice's emissions data indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments and strategies to effectively manage and reduce their carbon footprint in the coming years.
