Gree Electric's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Gree Electric reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,168,447,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 354,630,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 104,634,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based), and 709,182,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals significant contributions from purchased goods and services (394,420,000 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (94,905,000 kg CO2e). In 2023, Gree Electric's total emissions were about 1,117,968,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 344,641,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) at 132,877,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling 640,450,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions year-on-year. Gree Electric has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from any parent organisation. The company is actively engaged in climate reporting, as evidenced by its participation in the CDP, but lacks formal commitments such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or other structured reduction initiatives. Overall, Gree Electric's emissions data reflects a substantial carbon footprint, with a significant portion stemming from Scope 3 activities, highlighting the need for comprehensive strategies to address emissions across its value chain.
