This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to PLDT's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, PLDT reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 42,204 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,737 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 11.29 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, PLDT reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 11.29 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.06, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, PLDT ranked 26 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places PLDT among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, PLDT reported a total carbon footprint of 1,208,470 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 8.26% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to PLDT's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 55.52% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 40.99%.a
