China Tower's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, China Tower reported total carbon emissions of approximately 893.6 million tonnes CO2e. This figure includes about 83.7 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which encompass direct emissions from mobile and stationary combustion sources, and around 809.9 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity. Over the years, China Tower has shown fluctuations in its emissions. In 2019, the company recorded total emissions of about 36.2 million tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1.8 million tonnes CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 34.5 million tonnes CO2e. By 2020, emissions decreased to about 21.8 million tonnes CO2e, indicating a significant reduction in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Despite these figures, there are currently no publicly stated reduction targets or climate pledges from China Tower. The absence of specific commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has not yet formalised a strategy for future reductions or climate action initiatives. This context highlights the need for further transparency and commitment in addressing climate change within the telecommunications infrastructure sector.
