Greenhouse Gas Emission of Organization
The Company’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory was prepared annually using the Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) guidelines and methodologies of the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization's (Public Organization) for calculating greenhouse gas emissions, which consist of direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1), indirect greenhouse gas emissions from energy use (Scope 2), and other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3). The scope of the report covered three locations of the Company, including Bangkok Head Office, two offices and common area in AMATA City Chonburi Industrial Estate, and AMATA City Rayong Industrial Estate, which are under the Company’s responsibility.
In 2023, the Company’s 2022 Carbon Footprint of Organization (CFO) was verified and certified by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization) for the fourth consecutive year.
In 2022, the Company emitted 58,077 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of total greenhouse gas, consisting of direct GHG emissions (Scope 1), 454 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, and indirect GHG emissions from the use of purchased electricity (Scope 2), 15,393 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. The total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) were 15,847 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), a 7.8% decrease from the previous year and an 11.9% decrease from the 2019 base year. The combined GHG (Scope 1 and 2) intensity for the year 2022 was 0.49 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per acre, or 3.07 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare.
According to the carbon footprint data in 2023, which was calculated using the methodologies developed by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization), the Company's direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) were 526 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, and its indirect greenhouse gas emissions were 16,224 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from using purchased electricity (Scope 2). The total amount of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) was 16,750 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), which increased by 5.7% compared to 2022 but decreased by 6.9% from the 2019 base year. This was the result of reducing the use of electricity purchased from external sources, implementing energy-saving activities, and increasing the utilization of solar energy in industrial estates. The greenhouse gas emissions data for 2023 is still being reviewed by the Center of Excellence in Green Business Strategy at Kasetsart University (VGREEN) and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2024.
The combined direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Combined Scope 1 and 2) intensity for the year 2023 was 0.50 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per rai, or 3.15 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per hectare, increased by 2.4% from 2022 but decreased by 11.8% compared to the 2019 base year.
In 2022, the Company emitted 42,230 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3). It was a 1.9% decrease compared to 2021. In 2023, the Company emitted 46,470 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3), an increase of 10.04% compared to 2022. Other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3) were attributable to the contractors’ work in various activities as follows:
Therefore, to reduce the use of purchased electricity and other indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 3), the Company encourages contractors to employ innovation and technology to reduce fossil fuel energy consumption and promote the use of renewable energy for the Company’s utility system maintenance and also strives for more recycling to reduce waste sent to landfills as much as possible.
Strategy 3: Climate-related Products and Services
The Company foresees an opportunity to develop new products and services based on the needs of factory operators in today's industrial estates. These operators are affected by the enforcement of climate change laws and regulations, changes in foreign trade regulations by the government policies in each country, and more stringent climate policies from overseas head offices. This also includes addressing the needs of new customers or target groups who are concerned about climate change.
AMATA Summit Ready Built Company Limited (ASRB) specializes in developing ready-built factories and warehouses for rent. Committed to sustainable development, the Company focuses on creating products that minimize environmental impact and enhance human health. This commitment is evident in every aspect of its operations. During the design phase, ASRB selects eco-friendly materials. The construction process adheres to green building standards, uses low-carbon materials to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and implements efficient waste management practices. Furthermore, ASRB optimizes energy and water usage throughout the lifecycle of its buildings to maintain environmental quality and occupant well-being. These efforts are aligned with global standards such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Thai’s Rating of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (TREES), positioning ASRB as a leader in environmentally compliant ready-built factories and warehouses.
In 2023, the “AMATA Summit Green Distribution Center”, a new warehouse and distribution center operated by AMATA Summit Ready Build Company Limited in Samut Prakan province, Thailand, was awarded LEED Certified Gold Level version 4.1 for New Construction Warehouse category (LEED NC WDC). This distinction marks it as the first of its kind in Southeast Asia to receive this certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Additionally, the center was honored with the LEED Gold Certification Awards 2023 at the 'LEED in Southeast Asia Series' event, organized by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). This recognition underscores its leadership in the field of energy and environmental design, making it a landmark in the globally recognized LEED rating system.
The warehouse complex includes storage areas, office spaces, after-sales service sections, and public utility areas. Air conditioning throughout the warehouse maintains product quality by controlling temperature and humidity. The building’s design focuses on energy efficiency, featuring insulated roofs, walls, heat-resistant glass, and efficient HVAC and lighting systems powered by solar panels on the roof. These measures have reduced electricity costs by more than 50% annually, equivalent to using over 350 megawatt-hours of clean energy per year. Monitoring meters installed in each zone accurately track electricity usage, aiding in energy management. Water-saving sanitary fixtures and equipment reduce water usage by up to 50%, saving about 140,000 liters annually. The exterior of the building is designed to collect rainwater, which is reused for watering plants in the project’s green spaces. The interior prioritizes employee well-being with air circulation and ventilation systems that reduce heat and increase natural airflow, alongside air filtration systems that remove dust and particles. The building materials, including paints, coatings, adhesives, and flooring materials, emit low levels of radiation and pose no health risks to employees. Located in a logistics hub near major transportation routes, the warehouse supports customers in reducing energy consumption and environmental impacts from transportation.
