This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 223,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2,833,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 648,000 kg CO2e. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled about 3,056,000 kg CO2e. Thaicom has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, and there are no data cascaded from a parent company. The company is actively engaged in monitoring its emissions but has not disclosed any formal climate pledges or targets through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Thaicom's emissions data reflects its operational impact, with a significant portion stemming from Scope 2 emissions, which typically represent indirect emissions from purchased electricity. The absence of reduction targets indicates an opportunity for Thaicom to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability.
