China Aircraft Lease's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Aircraft Lease reported total carbon emissions of approximately 202,940 kg CO2e from Scope 3, 47,470 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,890 kg CO2e from Scope 1, resulting in a total of about 254,300 kg CO2e. This marked an increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to previous years, highlighting the challenges in managing indirect emissions associated with purchased goods and services. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 91,470 kg CO2e from Scope 3, 43,280 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,350 kg CO2e from Scope 1, indicating a significant rise in Scope 3 emissions year-on-year. For 2021, emissions were reported at approximately 5,320 kg CO2e from Scope 3, 43,820 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,930 kg CO2e from Scope 1. The trend shows a gradual increase in emissions across all scopes over the years. Despite these figures, China Aircraft Lease has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of formal climate pledges or science-based targets suggests a need for enhanced commitment to sustainability practices within the aviation leasing sector. The company operates from its headquarters in Hong Kong and is part of an industry increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact.
