In 2025, Grindrod completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Grindrod has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Grindrod decreased by 16.23%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Grindrod were 17,184 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Grindrod's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 21.11%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Grindrod's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 30.33%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 18,661 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2019, Grindrod's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 66.1%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Grindrod's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Grindrod's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported 10,201 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Grindrod includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported total Scope 3 emissions of 10,201 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Grindrod's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 10.73%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Grindrod's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 29.93%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 17,184 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 336 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 51.13 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 51.13 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 32.31, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Grindrod ranked 14 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Grindrod is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Grindrod reported a total carbon footprint of 46,046 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 19.71% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Grindrod's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 40.53% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 37.32%.a
