Tiger Brands's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Tiger Brands reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 401,662,000 kg CO2e, comprising 174,441,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 227,222,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a slight decrease from 2023, when the company recorded total emissions of about 436,647,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 208,079,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 228,568,000 kg CO2e. Tiger Brands has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment in this area. The emissions intensity for Scope 1 and 2 combined was reported at approximately 0.196 kg CO2e per tonne in 2024, reflecting the company's ongoing efforts to manage its carbon footprint. However, without formal reduction targets, the long-term sustainability of these efforts remains uncertain. Overall, while Tiger Brands has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of comprehensive reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate action and accountability in the future.
