China Water Affairs's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Water Affairs reported total carbon emissions of approximately 218,896,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 179,483,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 31,479,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, with Scope 3 emissions contributing about 4,853,000 kg CO2e. The company's emissions have shown a significant reduction from 2020, when total emissions were about 375,090,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by a decrease in Scope 2 emissions, which fell from approximately 373,310,000 kg CO2e in 2020 to around 31,479,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, China Water Affairs has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to operate within the water management sector, which is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of ongoing efforts to mitigate carbon emissions. Headquartered in Hong Kong, China Water Affairs is positioned to enhance its sustainability practices in line with global climate commitments, although further transparency regarding its long-term climate strategy would be beneficial.
