Kuaishou's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Kuaishou reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,055,300,000 kg CO2e, comprising 8,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 1,046,900,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, Kuaishou has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that Kuaishou is currently in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Kuaishou Technology is independently reporting its carbon footprint. As the company continues to grow, it may need to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
