Macao Electric Lighting's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Melco International Development Limited

In 2024, Macao Electric Lighting reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28217000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 265100000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 468055000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This represents a significant carbon footprint, with Scope 3 emissions being the largest contributor. In 2023, the company recorded emissions of about 20392000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 252165000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 372748000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, indicating a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions year-on-year. The emissions data for 2022 showed similar trends, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 17152000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 210353000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 377625000 kg CO2e. The company has consistently disclosed emissions across all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Macao Electric Lighting has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or SBTi targets suggests a need for enhanced climate action strategies. The emissions data is sourced directly from Melco International Development Limited, the parent company, ensuring accuracy and consistency in reporting. Overall, while Macao Electric Lighting's emissions remain high, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate commitments and contribute to global sustainability efforts.
