In 2023, Dongfeng Motor Corporation reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1,471,500,000 kg CO2e, comprising 328,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,143,300,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a decrease from 2022, where total emissions were about 1,687,600,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 396,900,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 1,290,700,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a commitment to reducing emissions, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. The company has not reported any Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. Dongfeng's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or climate pledges, Dongfeng Motor's emissions per unit product have shown slight improvements, with emissions of about 701 kg CO2e per tonne of product in 2023, down from 731 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022. This suggests ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and reduce carbon intensity in production processes.
