Huawei's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Huawei has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a net-zero carbon footprint by 2040. The company has established a target to achieve a 47% reduction in its carbon emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline year. This commitment follows a reported 6% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020. While specific emissions data for 2021 and 2023 is not disclosed, Huawei has provided insights into its carbon emissions intensity. For instance, the carbon emissions intensity per employee was approximately 603 kg CO2e, and the carbon emissions intensity per kilowatt-hour generated was about 0.544 kg CO2e. Additionally, the carbon emissions intensity per site after transformation was reported at about 8000 kg CO2e. Huawei's climate strategy reflects a proactive approach to sustainability, aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change. The company's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint significantly positions it as a responsible player in the technology sector, with a clear roadmap towards achieving its long-term environmental goals.
