China Railway Group Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, China Railway Group Limited reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 16,078,065,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a slight increase from 2023, where Scope 3 emissions were about 17,277,111,000 kg CO2e, and from 2022, which recorded approximately 16,329,429,000 kg CO2e. Notably, the company has not reported any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions, indicating a potential focus on upstream activities or a lack of direct emissions from their operations. Despite the substantial Scope 3 emissions, China Railway Group Limited has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal targets may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing comprehensive climate strategies. The company's headquarters is located in Hong Kong, and it operates within a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact. As such, there may be future opportunities for China Railway Group Limited to enhance its climate commitments and align with global sustainability goals.
