Quality of GHG Inventory
49/100
Quality and scope of GHG inventory Completeness
The company discloses that in 2022, its direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) were 75,998 Tons CO2 eq and energy indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions were 553,827 Tons CO2 eq. It has also reported Scope 3 emissions for FY2022, which were 16,821,995 Tons CO2 eq. The data included in the calculation are the production and transportation of raw materials, supporting materials, energy (excluding indirect energy - Scope 2) and waste processing. The estimate does not include consumer products, business travel, employee commuting, and downstream emissions. It states that the scope of the sustainability report covers operational units in Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and India, covering poultry and aquaculture operations and does not include non-operational offices and swine operations.
1.43/1.5
Feed & Animal Farming Emissions
The company reports Scope 3 emissions, which includes emissions based on a Life Cycle Assessment of its poultry operations in Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and India. However, it does not disclose the same for other animal farming operations and has not disclosed separately its CO2-equivalent emissions from animal farming. The company's feed mill operations are covered in Scope 1, and the transportation of purchased raw materials is covered in Scope 3. However, the disclosed Scope 3 emissions are only estimated for the poultry operations in Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar and India, covering 75% of operational units. It does not explicitly disclose CO2-equivalent emissions from feed production, nor does it disclose CO2-equivalent emissions from land use.

Emissions Performance
5/100
Overall Emission Performance
The company's Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have increased from FY2021 to FY2022, whereas Scope 3 emissions have increased from 10,825,139 tons CO2e in FY2021 to 16,821,995 tons CO2e in FY2022. Therefore, there is an increase in absolute emissions compared to the previous reporting period due to the expansion in coverage of the emission data. In 2022, the poultry life cycle assessment conducted by the company expanded to cover more than 75% of operational units in Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, and India. It also reports that the scope of the emissions data covers poultry and aquaculture operations from four of the five countries where it operates. Therefore, the geographic coverage applies across 3/4 of operations.
