In 2024, Velesto Energy Berhad reported total carbon emissions of approximately 64,640,000 kg CO2e, comprising 62,264,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 609,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (purchased electricity), and 1,121,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 (business travel). This reflects a slight decrease from 2023, where emissions were about 63,469,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 63,469,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 477,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 67,000 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, Velesto has demonstrated a commitment to monitoring and reporting its emissions across all three scopes. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of approximately 54,936,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 452,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 33,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The trend indicates a focus on transparency and accountability in its environmental impact. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Velesto has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formalised climate pledges suggests an opportunity for Velesto to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for emissions reduction. Overall, Velesto's emissions data reflects its operational footprint, with a clear need for strategic initiatives to address climate commitments and reduce its carbon impact moving forward.
