Top Glove Becomes First Malaysian Glove Maker to Achieve Verified Carbon Footprint Certification

Shah Alam, Wednesday, 3 June 2026 Top Glove Corporation Bhd (“Top Glove”) today announced that it has attained independent verification of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for its nitrile powder free 3.5g gloves, marking an important step forward on its sustainability journey. Top Glove is the first glove manufacturer in Malaysia to achieve this verification, amid growing global demand for greater transparency in carbon emissions. The verification of PCF information was carried out by SGS, a leading global testing, inspection and certification company, in accordance with the ISO 14064-3:2019 verification process, confirming that the PCF was prepared in accordance with the ISO 14067:2018 standard, built upon the life cycle assessment principles of ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Following the verification, the PCF for Top Glove’s nitrile powder free 3.5g gloves was confirmed at 26.274kg CO­2e. per 1,000 gloves, based on a cradle to gate assessment. Lim Jin Feng, Joint Managing Director of Top Glove remarked, “Customers today are looking beyond product quality and cost; they also want to understand the environmental impact of what they buy. By providing independently verified carbon footprint data, we are giving our customers clear and reliable information to support more responsible choices, while strengthening our own commitment to sustainable manufacturing.” This latest milestone builds on Top Glove’s earlier Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) work, which evaluates the broader environmental impact of its products. The PCF strengthens transparency in sustainability by providing a verified number on carbon emissions, giving customers greater confidence in the data they use for decision making and sustainability reporting. Having verified carbon footprint data is increasingly important as global customers, regulators and other stakeholders place greater emphasis on environmental performance, including the need to track indirect greenhouse gas emissions throughout the value chain, also known as Scope 3 emissions. This initiative aligns with Top Glove’s broader commitment to advancing sustainable manufacturing practices and environmental accountability, as the Group continues to strengthen its portfolio of environmentally responsible products.
