China Merchants Port's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Merchants Port reported total carbon emissions of approximately 285,912,000 kg CO2e, comprising 62,802,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 223,110,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Additionally, the company recorded 48,430 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, specifically from business travel. Over the years, emissions have shown a significant increase, with total emissions rising from about 118,068,900 kg CO2e in 2019 to 290,367,000 kg CO2e in 2022. This trend indicates a growing carbon footprint, despite the company's revenue increase from approximately USD 1.14 billion in 2020 to about USD 1.47 billion in 2023. China Merchants Port has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges available. The absence of such commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. Overall, while China Merchants Port's emissions data highlights a substantial carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments moving forward.
