Musim Mas commits to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with climate science as per the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

In addition to individual company efforts, there is a need for collective action. Recognizing this, Musim Mas and 13 other leading agribusiness companies set out to develop a shared roadmap in November 2022 for reducing emissions from land-use change: Agriculture Sector Roadmap to 1.5°C. The action follows the Group's COP26 commitments, hinges on existing NDPE commitments, and accelerates the sector's deforestation actions to align with global climate goals in a way that contributes to food security, economic development, and smallholder livelihoods.

Since 2017, Musim Mas has disclosed its sustainability practices and impacts annually, including corporate Scope 1 and 2 emissions through the CDP (formally known as the Carbon Disclosure Project). Moving forward, Musim Mas is expanding and reinforcing its GHG calculations and inventory in accordance with the GHG Protocol guidance to include Scope 3 emissions across its global operations to establish group-level emissions reduction targets in line with the SBTi.

Musim Mas' commitment has been endorsed by SBTi and has been displayed on the SBTi website since 12 January 2024. This is a major milestone in its long journey to achieving net-zero. Its near and long-term emission reduction targets are in the validation phase.

"As Musim Mas announces its commitment to SBTi, we recognize the role of the palm oil industry in driving global efforts towards net-zero emissions. The urgency of our climate crisis demands swift and resolute action. Musim Mas will undertake rigorous measures to align with SBTi standards, reduce our carbon footprint, and contribute significantly to the global imperative of achieving a sustainable and net-zero future." – Olivier Tichit, Director of Sustainability, Musim Mas.
