Citic's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, CITIC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 56,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,278,970 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 27,077,910 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 41,434,530 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, primarily attributed to business travel. This data reflects a commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, although there are missing data points for Scope 3 categories such as purchased goods and services. CITIC has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to achieve peak carbon emissions by 2025 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, the company plans to purchase 5,000 tonnes of China Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) credits to offset its carbon emissions from 2024 onwards, demonstrating a proactive approach to climate neutrality. The organization is not currently cascading emissions data from any parent company, ensuring that its reported figures are independently sourced. CITIC's long-term goal includes striving for carbon neutrality in CITIC Tower by 2050, focusing on energy management and increasing the use of green power.
