In 2023, China Everbright reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,644,043,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 14,800,577,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 519,563,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, related to the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, amounted to about 323,903,000 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company's total emissions were about 13,519,667,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 12,801,212,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 547,406,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 171,048,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite the rising emissions, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives from China Everbright aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of specific climate pledges or science-based targets suggests a need for enhanced commitment to sustainability practices within the organisation. Overall, China Everbright's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions to align with global climate goals.
