China Water Affairs's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, China Water Affairs reported total carbon emissions of approximately 218,896,000 kg CO2e, comprising 3,209,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 215,687,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects a consistent emission level over the previous years, with the same total emissions recorded in 2022 and 2021. In 2020, emissions were significantly higher at 375,090,000 kg CO2e, indicating a potential stabilisation in their carbon footprint. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Furthermore, there are no emissions data cascaded from a parent organisation, as China Water Affairs operates independently in this regard. The emissions intensity for their environmental protection business is reported at about 1,000 kg CO2e per tonne of electricity, while the intensity for hazardous waste related to domestic sewage treatment is approximately 460 kg CO2e per tonne. These figures highlight the company's operational impact on carbon emissions, although no comprehensive reduction strategies have been outlined. Overall, while China Water Affairs has maintained a stable emissions profile in recent years, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
