In 2024, China Water Affairs reported total carbon emissions of approximately 388,333,000 kg CO2e, with a breakdown of 181,420,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 179,219,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 27,694,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a significant increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 218,896,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by Scope 2 emissions at 215,687,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent organisation. The emissions data is sourced directly from China Water Affairs Group Limited, indicating a standalone reporting structure without inherited targets or metrics from a corporate family. Overall, while China Water Affairs has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies to align with industry standards and expectations.
