United Plantations's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, United Plantations reported total carbon emissions of approximately 927,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 303,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, a negative 1,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 624,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from purchased goods and services, accounting for about 504,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 798,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 282,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 500,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 516,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which highlights the importance of addressing upstream supply chain impacts. Despite these figures, United Plantations has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further transparency in their sustainability efforts. The company continues to focus on improving its emissions intensity, with reported GHG emissions per kg of NBD oil at approximately 1,470 kg CO2e in 2024 and 1,330 kg CO2e in 2023. Overall, while United Plantations has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets indicates an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment to sustainability.
