Since the base year, our company has experienced a notable increase in carbon emissions. This rise can be attributed to several factors, primarily the expansion of business transactions and transport activities. However, it is essential to consider the potential inaccuracies in our carbon reporting to understand the full picture.

To address the rising carbon emissions, it is imperative to implement a robust carbon reduction strategy. This includes accurate carbon reporting, comprehensive data collection, and a commitment to sustainability. By taking these steps, we can work towards reducing our carbon footprint and achieving our environmental goals.
