GHG EMISSIONS 23% and 14% reduction in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
GRI 305-1, 305-2, 305-4, 305-5 This means we have progressed well reaching the
half-way mark of our goal to reduce 50% GHG
emission intensity in our production against 2020
baseline. However, we acknowledge that our emission
intensity in 2023 increased by 11% from 2022 due to

For Apical’s GHG emissions calculation, we adopted
the operational control consolidation approach
outlined in the ‘GHG Protocol Corporate Standards’.
Gases included in the calculations are CO , CH and

Scope 1 emissions are from stationary combustion,
mobile combustion, refrigerant combustion, fugitive
emissions and process emissions from wastewater
treatment plants and other chemical reactions.
Biogenic emissions were reported separately and
not included under Scope 1. The sources of Scope
2 emissions are consumption of electricity from the
national grid. Some of the frameworks adopted in our
calculations are: ISO 14064-1 and GHG Protocol. Data
were first collected directly from gas and electricity
meter then logged into our proprietary Sustainability
Impact Measurement System (SIMS) by the respective
data owners. Our Green Innovation chapter outlines
more details on SIMS.
We have selected 2020 as our base year. We observe
a positive reduction trend over the last three years for
our Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity against 2020 with
