In 2023, Petron Corporation reported significant carbon emissions from its operations in Malaysia, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 190,607,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 70,971,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the company's direct and indirect emissions associated with its energy consumption. Petron's emissions data for previous years indicates a trend in emissions management, with Scope 1 emissions in 2022 recorded at approximately 181,916,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 74,370,000 kg CO2e. This suggests a slight increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023, which may warrant further investigation into operational efficiencies and energy sources. Despite the absence of Scope 3 emissions data, Petron has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the lack of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. This places the company in a challenging position within the industry, where many peers are actively pursuing ambitious climate goals. Overall, while Petron Corporation has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of comprehensive reduction strategies and targets may impact its long-term sustainability and alignment with global climate commitments.
