In 2022, PLT New Zealand Limited reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 47,620,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes about 47,620,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion, and about 1,960,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 emissions, specifically from the use of sold products, accounted for a staggering 307,610,000,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2021, the company recorded approximately 44,670,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and about 1,760,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, with Scope 3 emissions at around 289,960,000,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in emissions across the board from 2021 to 2022. PLT New Zealand Limited has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent company. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, PLT New Zealand Limited may need to establish clear reduction strategies to align with global climate goals.
