PCMC's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, PCMC reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 4,500,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,500,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions, related to the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling, accounted for about 900,000,000 kg CO2e. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which cover indirect emissions from the value chain, were approximately 200,000,000 kg CO2e, with various categories such as investments, capital goods, and employee commute each contributing about 100,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite the substantial emissions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from PCMC. This lack of specific commitments highlights an opportunity for the organisation to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability. As the global focus on climate action intensifies, establishing clear reduction goals could significantly bolster PCMC's environmental credibility and performance.
