China Re's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Re reported total carbon emissions of approximately 51,542,680 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 7,074,210 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 44,468,470 kg CO2e. This represents a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 53,807,680 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 7,809,120 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at about 45,998,560 kg CO2e. China Re has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company’s emissions per revenue metric suggests a focus on integrating sustainability into their financial performance, although no formal climate pledges or science-based targets have been established. Overall, while China Re has made progress in managing its carbon footprint, further commitments and transparency regarding reduction strategies would enhance its climate action profile.

China Re is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
