Dongfang Electric's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, Dongfang Electric has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. However, the company has reported greenhouse gas emissions intensity metrics, with values of approximately 8.1 kg CO2e per CNY revenue in 2019, 6.8 kg CO2e per CNY revenue in 2020, and 5.1 kg CO2e per CNY revenue in 2021. This indicates a trend of decreasing emissions intensity over these years, suggesting improvements in operational efficiency or a shift towards lower-carbon technologies. Despite the absence of detailed absolute emissions data, Dongfang Electric has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their accountability in addressing climate change. The company operates within a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, and the lack of formal commitments may affect its reputation and competitiveness in a market that values sustainability. Overall, while Dongfang Electric shows a positive trend in emissions intensity, the absence of comprehensive emissions data and reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
