In 2023, San Miguel Corporation reported approximately 12.2 million tonnes CO2e in Scope 1 emissions and about 30.2 million tonnes CO2e in Scope 2 emissions, resulting in a total of around 22.4 million tonnes CO2e for both scopes combined. This marks a significant reduction from 2022, where the total emissions were about 18.3 million tonnes CO2e, driven by a decrease in Scope 1 emissions from approximately 12.3 million tonnes CO2e and a slight reduction in Scope 2 emissions. San Miguel's emissions intensity for electricity usage was reported at 820.0 metric tons CO2e per MWh in 2023, down from 920.0 metric tons CO2e per MWh in the previous year, indicating progress in improving energy efficiency. Despite these reductions, San Miguel has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or documented reduction initiatives. Their performance in climate-related disclosures has been rated as "F" by CDP in multiple assessments, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and commitment to climate action. Overall, while San Miguel has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, further commitments and clearer targets would enhance its climate strategy and align it with global sustainability goals.
