Perpetual's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Perpetual reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5.8 million tonnes CO2e, comprising 5.8 million tonnes from Scope 1, 1.6 million tonnes from Scope 2, and 1.57 million tonnes from Scope 3 emissions. This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 3 categories. In 2022, the company recorded about 1.4 million tonnes CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and approximately 1.3 million tonnes CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, alongside 2.4 million tonnes CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. The trend indicates a substantial rise in emissions across all scopes, particularly in Scope 1, which saw an increase from 1.1 million tonnes CO2e in 2021. Perpetual has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no documented reduction initiatives or pledges to mitigate their carbon footprint. The absence of defined targets suggests a need for enhanced strategies to address their environmental impact effectively.
