72 FGV HOLDINGS BERHAD ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP GHG Emissions A key focus of our sustainability efforts is to reduce our overall GHG emissions. Through our various emissions reduction initiatives and projects, FGV’s Renewable Energy Department has targeted 100,000 MT CO2 reduction per year.

Emissions factors sourced from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Malaysia Biennial Update Report to the UNFCCC 2015. Scope 2 was calculated using a grid emission factor of 0.585 as calculated by GreenTech Malaysia in 2017. Data represents mills and estates only. ** The total GHG emissions for Sugar differs from MSM’s Annual Report 2019 as this figure includes Scope 1, which was not included in the MSM report. The majority of our emissions reduction has been achieved through our strategic investment in renewable energy technology such as biogas capture, biomass power and, more recently, bio-compressed natural gas (bio-CNG). Zero-burning Policy FGV strictly adheres to a zero-burning policy and does not practise open burning for any purpose. The exception to this rule is to manage the outbreak of pests and diseases as specified in the ‘Guidelines for the Implementation of the ASEAN Policy on Zero Burning 2003’. Natural fires, however, may still ignite in some regions during times of severe dry weather. Despite our best efforts to prevent any fires, six fires were recorded in 2018. However, none were recorded in 2019.
