Despite these figures, Meitu has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it report any commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, while Meitu's emissions have shown variability, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
