- Supply chain disruptions due to climate events (droughts and floods)
- Pest and disease outbreaks
- Challenges in achieving full traceability to plantations due to the involvement of numerous smallholders and intermediaries
- Coarse resolution of deforestation monitoring due to the large monitoring area (GFW default of 50km radius around mills)
- Increased chemical use intensity due to the acquisition of new plantations
Permata Group
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Permata Group disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 814.4K tCO2e/year (Scope 1 & 2). By scope: Scope 1: 823.9K tCO2e/year; Scope 2: 2.7K tCO2e/year; Scope 3: 6.3M tCO2e/year. Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
