Notably, the company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Comparatively, in 2020, China Tower's total emissions were about 21,845,230 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion at approximately 728,900 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity at around 21,116,330 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions over the three-year period.

The absence of defined climate commitments suggests a need for enhanced focus on sustainability initiatives within the telecommunications infrastructure sector.
