China FAW Group Co., Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2022, China FAW Group Co., Ltd. reported carbon emissions of approximately 3,243,270,000 kg CO2e, a significant reduction from 4,182,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and 4,392,200,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company primarily discloses emissions under Scope 1, which accounted for all reported emissions during these years. Notably, there were no reported emissions for Scope 2 or Scope 3 in the available data. Despite these reductions, China FAW Group has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company’s emissions per unit of revenue have also shown a downward trend, with emissions of about 6.1e-06 kg CO2e per RMB 10,000 of output value in 2022, compared to 6.8e-06 kg CO2e in 2021 and 6.9e-06 kg CO2e in 2020. Overall, while China FAW Group has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests that further initiatives may be necessary to enhance its climate commitments.
