China Petrochemical Development's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, China Petrochemical Development (CPDC) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,666,264,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,703,474,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 204,332,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 1,758,458,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company's emissions have fluctuated over the years, with total emissions recorded at approximately 1,111,966,000 kg CO2e in 2020, 1,913,009,000 kg CO2e in 2019, and 2,123,725,000 kg CO2e in 2018. Despite the significant emissions figures, CPDC has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded any emissions data or climate targets from a parent organisation, indicating that its reporting is independent. CPDC's emissions data is sourced from its own disclosures, specifically the China Petrochemical Development Corporation's sustainability reports. The absence of specific reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations.
