- Three fatalities at upstream operations in 2023
- Challenges in ensuring independent smallholders adhere to GAPs
- Leakage market and negative consumer perception in palm oil sector
- Challenges in measuring and accounting for Scope 3 emissions
- Increasing regulatory requirements (EUDR, CSRD, CS3D)
- Greenwashing and misleading sustainability claims
- Managing climate-related physical risks (pests, diseases, storms, floods, fires, droughts, heatwaves)
- Managing climate-related transition risks (regulations, carbon pricing, market shifts, alternative palm oil development, peatland use)
Musim Mas Group
Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
In its 2023 reporting, Musim Mas Group disclosed greenhouse gas emissions of 41.9M tCO2e/year. By scope: Scope 1: 1.5M tCO2e/year; Scope 2: 430.9K tCO2e/year; Scope 3: 40.0M 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.
