In 2024, COSCO SHIPPING PORTS LIMITED reported total carbon emissions of approximately 76919000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 127026000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 630438000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, leading to a calculated total of approximately 834,000,000 kg CO2e. This total reflects the company's comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, encompassing all relevant scopes. The company has shown a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 78497000 kg CO2e in 2023 and 84895000 kg CO2e in 2022. However, Scope 2 emissions increased from 148492000 kg CO2e in 2023 to 127026000 kg CO2e in 2024, while Scope 3 emissions have remained significant, indicating areas for potential improvement. COSCO SHIPPING PORTS LIMITED is a current subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited, inheriting emissions data and commitments from its parent organisation. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, which suggests a need for the company to establish clear goals in line with industry standards for climate action. Overall, while COSCO SHIPPING PORTS LIMITED has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with global sustainability efforts.
