BGI Group, headquartered in China (CN), currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the company. This lack of data suggests that BGI Group may not have established formal commitments to reduce carbon emissions or may not publicly disclose such information. In the context of the industry, many organisations are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate climate impact. However, without specific commitments or emissions data, BGI Group's position on climate action remains unclear.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
BGI Group is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
