Greenhouse Gas Emissions

(i) Short-term Target:      To reduce 15% of greenhouse gas emissions per capita in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025/2026 based on 2018/2019 level
(ii) Medium-term Target: To reduce 50% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 based on 2010 level
(iii) Long-term Target:     To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050

GHG emissions per capita decreased from 0.58 tonnes CO₂-e in 2024/25 to 0.43 tonnes CO₂-e in 2025/26, representing a 25.5% reduction. Compared with 2018/19, GHG emissions per capita were 53.62% lower in 2025/26, indicating that the reduction target was exceeded.

 Electricity Consumption

Target: To reduce 5% of electricity consumption per capita by 2025/2026 based on 2018/2019 level
