PDD Holdings's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, PDD Holdings, headquartered in the US, reported its carbon emissions data, which includes a carbon footprint of approximately 0.071 kg CO2e per USD of revenue. However, specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 are not disclosed, indicating a lack of detailed emissions reporting. Currently, PDD Holdings does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of defined targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As of now, there is no emissions data cascaded from a parent or related organization, indicating that PDD Holdings is reporting independently without inherited data. The company’s climate commitments and initiatives remain unclear, reflecting a broader context within the industry where many organisations are increasingly focusing on transparency and accountability in their environmental impact.
