Scope 3 accounts for ••• of total emissions.
China Light And Power, headquartered in HK and operating in the distribution and trade of electricity, reported total emissions of approximately 45.78 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 34.36 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 302 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 11.13 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.
Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 50.69 billion kg CO2e in 2024, and around 52.99 billion kg CO2e in 2023. This indicates a decreasing trend in total emissions.
China Light And Power has set several climate commitments. The CLP Group has committed to reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from electricity sold by 52% per kg CO2e/kWh by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Within this, the Group aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from electricity generated by 50% per kg CO2e/kWh over the same timeframe. They also commit to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 28% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. These targets, covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions, are considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2021.
Furthermore, China Light And Power is committed to progressively phasing out coal-fired generation plants and aims to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050. The company also intends to achieve near-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025. Another near-term target includes a 30% reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 2020 levels by 2030. Their subsidiary, EnergyAustralia, has reaffirmed its commitment to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2050, with an ambition to extend this to Scope 3 emissions. Additionally, China Light And Power has a long-term goal to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.
