This represents a consistent emission level compared to previous years, where emissions were also recorded at 7,385,080 kg CO2e in both 2021 and 2022. In 2020, Li Ning's emissions were notably lower, with a total of 4,734,700 kg CO2e, comprising 623,380 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 4,111,320 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in recent years, indicating a commitment to transparency in their climate impact reporting. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their recent disclosures, Li Ning's emissions per unit of revenue have shown a decreasing trend, suggesting an effort to decouple growth from carbon emissions. The company has not publicly committed to Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or specific climate pledges, which may reflect an area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Li Ning has maintained a stable emissions profile, the absence of defined reduction targets highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
