In 2023, China Tower, headquartered in CN, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 89,363,960 kg CO2e. This figure includes 83,655,110 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from mobile combustion (68,956,290 kg CO2e) and stationary combustion (2,028,940 kg CO2e). Additionally, the company disclosed Scope 2 emissions of about 809,984,450 kg CO2e, predominantly from purchased electricity. China Tower has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, and there are no emissions data for Scope 3. The absence of significant reduction initiatives or commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, as China Tower Corporation Limited operates independently in this regard. Overall, while China Tower's emissions figures reflect substantial operational activity, the lack of defined climate commitments suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability and emissions reduction in future strategies.
