Reporting

Bursa Malaysia Guide, Integrated Report 🟢

GHG Accounting

Sasbadi Holdings Berhad demonstrates a commitment to GHG accounting by reporting Scope 1 (604.17 tCO₂e) and Scope 2 (514.10 tCO₂e) emissions for FYE 2024, with data sourced using recognized emission factors from the GHG Protocol and Malaysia Energy Commission. The boundary covers operations in Klang Valley, ensuring relevance to their business scope. However, Scope 3 emissions are not reported, limiting the comprehensiveness of their carbon footprint assessment. Additionally, the absence of third-party verification raises concerns about data reliability. A key improvement area is to include Scope 3 emissions and pursue external assurance to enhance credibility. Establishing a base year for tracking reductions and reporting carbon intensity metrics would further strengthen their GHG disclosure.

Report Quality

Commendable foundation in sustainability reporting by Sasbadi Holdings Berhad for FYE 2024 🟢. The integrated report, aligned with Bursa Malaysia guidelines, provides quantifiable metrics such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions (1,118.27 tCO₂e combined), energy consumption (11,089.01 GJ), and community investment (RM1.15M benefiting 8,571 recipients), showcasing transparency in key areas. Measurable outcomes like solar energy adoption (400.29 MWh yield) highlight environmental efforts. However, gaps exist with no forward-looking commitments like net-zero targets or specific reduction goals ⚠️. The lack of third-party verification for GHG data and omission of Scope 3 emissions limit credibility. Generic statements on environmental stewardship lack supporting evidence. Sasbadi could enhance its report by incorporating external assurance, setting clear sustainability targets, and expanding GHG scope. This would elevate the report from a solid base to a benchmark for accountability.
