Cgpc's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Cgpc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,130,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 16,830,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 139,490,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, totalling about 171,450,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 385,620,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 151,239,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 168,141,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 1,394,848,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Cgpc's emissions have fluctuated, with Scope 1 emissions increasing from about 4,959,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to 15,130,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Scope 2 emissions also rose from approximately 10,098,000 kg CO2e in 2017 to 16,830,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Notably, Scope 3 emissions were not reported until 2021, when they reached approximately 1,421,469,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Cgpc has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may need to enhance its strategies to address its carbon footprint effectively.
