ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT

Climate change and environmental degradation directly impact our brewing operations and value chain sustainability. Building on this understanding, we recognise our responsibility to achieve zero carbon emissions at our brewery by 2030 and net zero carbon emissions across our value chain by 2040.

Our strategy focuses on investing in low-carbon technologies, renewable energy and responsible waste management practices, ensuring sustainable operations that benefit our business and the environment.

ENERGY, CARBON AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

We are committed to enhancing energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and managing waste across our operations, distribution and value chain through investments in clean low-carbon technologies, renewable energy and responsible disposal practices, supported by employee education on waste reduction to deliver zero waste to landfills.

OUR APPROACH

We actively implement measures to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and manage waste across our operations. Our approach enables systematic 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) programmes and initiatives to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

We have set clear targets and action plans, regularly benchmarking our performance against Carlsberg Group and regional breweries in energy consumption, emissions management and sustainable waste practices.

PROGRESS/ACHIEVEMENTS

In 2024, we ensured efficient energy, carbon and waste management through various initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

Energy Management:

  • We utilise both non-renewable and renewable energy sources. To optimise energy consumption, we improved thermal energy efficiency by enhancing the boiler and burner efficiency
  • In 2024, we reduced our energy consumption by 224 MWh through utilising energy-efficient systems
  • In 2024, our brewery’s electricity intensity decreased compared to 2023, driven by the optimisation of the cooling system during beer production.

Carbon Management:

 In 2024, we enhanced our disclosures by including three categories of Scope 3 carbon emissions, namely Category 5 (Waste Generated in Operations), Category 6 (Business Travel) and Category 7 (Employee Commuting).

By 2030, we aim to reduce our value chain emissions by 30% and have begun collecting Scope 3 carbon emissions data to enhance the monitoring and management of our value chain’s carbon footprint.

* Data includes carbon emissions from Carlsberg Malaysia production site and sales offices and Carlsberg Singapore office. **Carbon emissions for Scopes 1 and 2 in 2022 and 2023 have been restated due to changes in emission factors.

Waste Management: 

We ensure efficient waste management through various initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of our operations. In 2024, we implemented the following initiatives:

 

GOING FORWARD:

We will continue strengthening our efforts in energy efficiency, carbon reduction and waste management. Our focus will be on expanding the adoption of low-carbon technologies, increasing renewable energy usage and improving resource efficiency across operations.

We will also strengthen circular economy practices, ensuring that all waste streams, including brewery by-products, are repurposed into valuable resources. Additionally, we will enhance monitoring and reporting mechanisms to improve transparency in emissions and energy consumption.
