In 2024, the largest contributors to Zain's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Zain reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 330,115.856 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 6,398 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 51.6 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Zain reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 51.6 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, Zain 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 Zain among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Zain reported a total carbon footprint of 1,493,413.658 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.3% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Zain's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 44.33% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 33.56%.a
