China Tower has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a limited focus on upstream and downstream emissions in their reporting. Overall, while China Tower has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of reduction targets and initiatives indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards.
