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, 900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 200,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals contributions from various categories, including investments, capital goods, business travel, employee commute, and the use and processing of sold products, each accounting for 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 PCMC continues to operate within the global context, addressing its carbon footprint will be crucial for meeting future climate challenges.
