Huawei's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Huawei reaffirmed its commitment to reducing carbon emissions, aiming for a net-zero target by 2040. The company has set ambitious reduction goals, targeting a 47% decrease in its carbon footprint across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2030, using 2020 as the baseline year. In 2021, Huawei reported a carbon emissions intensity of approximately 603 kg CO2e per employee and 0.544 kg CO2e per kWh generated, with a significant carbon emissions intensity of about 8000 kg CO2e per site after transformation. Huawei's climate strategy includes a near-term goal of achieving a 47% reduction in carbon emissions from its operations, which encompasses both direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2), as well as total upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3). The company has already made progress, reporting a 6% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2020. As part of its sustainability initiatives, Huawei is actively analysing its emissions and setting targets to ensure compliance with its long-term climate commitments. The company's focus on reducing its carbon footprint reflects a broader industry trend towards sustainability and climate responsibility.
