2023 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 88 CSE GLOBAL LIMITED Apart from electricity, we also track Scope 1 and 2 emissions2 which arise from our consumption of fuels, refrigerants, and electricity respectively. Total emissions and GHG emissions index decreased by 9.8% and 31.2% respectively in FY2023. GHG Emissions FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 Scope 1 emissions (t CO2e) 2,234 2,720 2,298 Scope 2 emissions (t CO2e) 2,415 2,447 2,363 Total emissions(t CO2e) 4,649 5,167 4,662 GHG emission index (t CO2e / SGD million) 9.9 9.3 6.4 We have already met our original target of reducing our gas carbon emission index by 10% by 2030 (Base year: 2020). We will continue to implement energy-efficient solutions at our operations and strive to continue improving on our consumption index further in the years ahead. 6.3.2 PAPER CONSUMPTION We seek to minimise paper wastage at our operations and have established an Internal Paper Reduction Guideline which is adhered by all of our employees. The guidelines state out ways which our employees can reduce the use of paper such as the use of double-sided printing and using blank sides of single-sided copies to print drafts. To further reduce paper waste generated, we inculcate paper re-use and recycling habits among our employees, and we are also encouraged to adopt the use of digital documents instead of paper documents. To ensure that we consumed paper that are eco-friendly and sourced from responsibly managed plantations, 100% of paper used across our operations are either Forest Stewardship Council (“FSC”) certified or made from KHAN-NA. In FY2023, we consumed a total of 6,764 kg of paper, a 6.1% decrease compared to prior reporting year, and our paper consumption index stands at 9.3 kg/SGD million. With our paper consumption index decreasing by 27.9% as compared to FY2022, we have met our FY2023 target of reducing our paper consumption index by 1% annually, though we have already met our original target set for 2030. We will strive to continue improving on our consumption index further in the future years ahead. Paper Consumption FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 Paper consumed (kg) 5,329 7,200 6,764 Percentage of paper consumed with FSC certification 100% 100% 100% Paper consumption index (kg/SGD million) 11.4 12.9 9.3 We will continue to enhance resource efficiency across our operations and seek new ways to minimise paper consumed. 2 Following the guidance of GHG Protocol, we have restated our FY2021 scope 2 emissions figures from 41 t CO2e to 2,415 t CO2e and FY2022 emissions figures from 45 t CO2e to 2,447 t CO2e. In turn, we have restated the GHG emissions index for FY2021 from 4.85 to 9.9, and for FY2022 from 4.96 to 9.3 t CO2e / SGD million. The emission factors used in the calculation of emissions were now derived from the multiple grid locations in the markets we operate. The electricity consumption data for New Zealand and Australia electricity consumption for FY2021 and FY2022 was available as an aggregate of the two countries’ electricity consumption. Therefore, emissions for Australia and New Zealand in FY2021 and FY2022 were calculated by proxying based on the electricity consumption in FY2023, and the corresponding localised emissions factors were applied. Entities included in the consolidation of emission data follow the scope of this Report.
