GHG Accounting

Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad demonstrates a structured approach to GHG accounting, adhering to the GHG Protocol with detailed reporting across Scope 1 (135k tCO₂e), Scope 2 (19k tCO₂e), and partial Scope 3 (26k tCO₂e) emissions for 2023. Strengths include comprehensive coverage of operations and inclusion of biogenic emissions (210k tCO₂e) from biomass usage. However, Scope 3 data remains incomplete, with only selected categories like business travel quantified. The absence of third-party verification limits credibility. Improvements are needed in full Scope 3 disclosure and verification to enhance reliability. Efforts to reduce emissions through biogas plants and solar energy adoption are commendable but require measurable outcomes to assess impact.

Report Quality

Commendable Foundation in Sustainability Reporting 🟢. Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad's 2023 integrated report provides a solid base with detailed GHG accounting across Scope 1, 2, and partial Scope 3 emissions, supported by quantifiable actions like recycling 334k tonnes of waste and installing 26 EV chargers. The inclusion of ESG KPIs linked to senior management remuneration is a positive step. However, measurable outcomes are limited ⚠️, especially for emission reduction targets, as data shows an increase in intensity (+64.4%) due to methodological changes and lower revenue. Generic commitments like 'continuous reduction' lack specificity. Forward-looking commitments (e.g., full Scope 3 disclosure by 2025) are noted but need clearer timelines. The report could benefit from third-party verification to enhance credibility and more granular targets for renewable energy adoption. Overall, a promising effort with room for deeper impact measurement.
