China Taiping Insurance Holdings's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Taiping Insurance Holdings reported total carbon emissions of approximately 62,561,170 kg CO2e. This figure includes 10,525,890 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 48,100,760 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 3,934,520 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company's emissions have fluctuated over recent years, with a total of about 80,668,050 kg CO2e in 2022, 37,204,170 kg CO2e in 2021, and 41,377,030 kg CO2e in 2020. Notably, the Scope 2 emissions have consistently represented the largest portion of their total emissions, indicating a significant reliance on energy consumption. Despite these figures, China Taiping Insurance Holdings has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they joined any formal climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of defined targets may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing their climate strategies. Overall, while the company has made strides in reporting its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its climate action profile.
