China Mobile's reported carbon emissions

China Mobile, a company operating in the Post and telecommunication services sector (64) headquartered in CN, has reported its carbon emissions. For the year 2025, the company reported approximately 32.28 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with Scope 1 emissions standing at approximately 190 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 32.09 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for business travel and employee commute were approximately 120.6 million kg CO2e and 224.6 million kg CO2e, respectively. In 2024, China Mobile's Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 32.46 billion kg CO2e, comprising 200 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 32.26 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2. Scope 3 emissions for business travel and employee commute were approximately 80.5 million kg CO2e and 259.3 million kg CO2e. For 2023, the company reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 35.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 220 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 35.18 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for business travel and employee commute were approximately 70.5 million kg CO2e and 290.5 million kg CO2e. In 2022, China Mobile reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 34.46 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 220 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 34.24 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for business travel and employee commute were significant, at approximately 3.47 billion kg CO2e and 3.71 billion kg CO2e, respectively. Previously, in 2021, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 33.82 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 240 million kg CO2e; Scope 2: 33.58 billion kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions for business travel and employee commute were approximately 47.2 million kg CO2e and 402.4 million kg CO2e. In 2020, Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 34.15 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 240 million kg CO2e; Scope 2: 33.91 billion kg CO2e). Scope 3 emissions for business travel and employee commute were approximately 57.6 million kg CO2e and 438.8 million kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 and 2 emissions amounted to approximately 17.32 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 280 million kg CO2e; Scope 2: 17.04 billion kg CO2e). Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year. In 2018, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 16.17 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1: 310 million kg CO2e; Scope 2: 15.86 billion kg CO2e). Scope 3 data was not disclosed for this year. China Mobile has established climate commitments, including a pledge to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emission intensity by 20% by 2025, using 2020 as the baseline. Furthermore, the company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The company also references the IEA B2DS scenario, which anticipates the energy sector achieving net-zero emissions by around 2060. For 2025, the company aimed to control Scope 1 and Scope 2 annual greenhouse gas emissions within 46.5 million tonnes, and achieve a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions per unit of total telecommunications universal service volume of no less than 20% compared to 2020. In 2025, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (before green electricity offsetting) were reported as 190,000 tonnes and 35.02 million tonnes, respectively. Greenhouse gas emissions per unit of total telecommunications universal service volume decreased by 54% compared to 2020 in 2025. It is noted that China Mobile's emissions data is inherited from its corporate family, with its data considered cascade level 3 under its current subsidiary relationship with China Mobile Limited.
