In 2022, Ant Group Co., Ltd. reported carbon emissions of approximately 21,087,930 kg CO2e, specifically from Scope 1 emissions. This figure highlights the company's commitment to carbon neutrality for its direct emissions. However, there is no available data for 2023 emissions or for Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, indicating a lack of comprehensive disclosure in these areas. Ant Group has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent or related organisations. The company is currently focusing on its carbon neutrality goal for Scope 1 emissions, but further details on broader climate commitments or strategies are not disclosed. Overall, while Ant Group has made strides in addressing its direct emissions, the absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that there is room for improvement in its climate strategy and transparency.
