Hutchison Ports (UK)'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Hutchison Ports (UK) reported carbon emissions of approximately 28,981,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and a significant 547,316,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects their ongoing commitment to addressing climate change within their operations. The previous year, 2022, saw Scope 1 emissions at about 29,216,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in direct emissions. Over the years, Hutchison Ports has demonstrated a focus on reducing its carbon footprint, with Scope 1 emissions decreasing from approximately 34,210,000 kg CO2e in 2021 to the current figure. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their sustainability strategy, which suggests a need for further commitment to formal climate pledges or science-based targets. The carbon intensity of their operations has also shown improvement, with values of 9,730 kg CO2e/TEU in 2021, 8,390 kg CO2e/TEU in 2022, and 8,450 kg CO2e/TEU in 2023. This indicates a positive trend in operational efficiency despite the high Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from their supply chain and other activities. Overall, Hutchison Ports (UK) is making strides in managing its carbon emissions, but further clarity on reduction targets and commitments would enhance their sustainability profile.
