In 2023, San Miguel's total carbon emissions amounted to approximately 22,425,734,290 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions contributing about 12,183,876,270 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 30,172,100 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant focus on reducing direct emissions from operations and energy consumption. In 2022, the company reported total emissions of about 18,315,302,490 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 12,317,589,800 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions around 11,999,290 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. For the year 2021, San Miguel's emissions were recorded at approximately 16,106,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 561,055,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, highlighting a trend of increasing emissions over the years. Despite these figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of formal targets suggests that while San Miguel is actively monitoring its emissions, it has yet to establish specific goals for reduction. Overall, San Miguel's emissions data reflects its operational impact on climate change, and the absence of defined reduction initiatives may indicate an area for potential improvement in its sustainability strategy.
