BGI Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2019, BGI Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 273,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 12,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 256,000 kg CO2e. Currently, BGI Group has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies indicates a need for further commitment to climate action within the organisation. As BGI Group is headquartered in China (CN), it operates within a rapidly evolving regulatory and environmental landscape, which may influence future climate commitments and emissions reporting.
