GHG Accounting
BAT Malaysia demonstrates a strong commitment to GHG reduction with a reported 56% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since the 2020 baseline, supported by robust data tracking via the BAT Group's reporting system. Scope 3 emissions are acknowledged but lack detailed quantification. However, the reporting of reductions rather than absolute values limits transparency. No third-party verification is mentioned, which could enhance credibility. Key improvements include adopting absolute emission figures, specifying GWP basis and standards like GHG Protocol, and pursuing external assurance. Overall, while progress is evident, aligning with global standards like IFRS S2 (planned for 2025) and enhancing disclosure granularity will strengthen their GHG accounting framework.

Report Quality
Commendable progress is evident in BAT Malaysia’s 2024 sustainability report, with quantifiable metrics such as a 56% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions and a 99% waste recycling rate 🟢. The integrated report aligns with GRI standards, providing a structured overview of environmental and social impacts. Forward-looking commitments, like achieving Net Zero by 2050 and adopting IFRS S2 in 2025, reflect ambition 🟢. However, generic statements on sustainability vision occasionally lack supporting evidence, and the absence of absolute GHG emission figures or third-party verification limits transparency ⚠️. To enhance credibility, the report could incorporate external assurance, detailed Scope 3 data, and clearer methodologies for emission calculations. Overall, it provides a solid foundation but would benefit from deeper granularity and validation of claims to strengthen stakeholder trust.
