PDD Holdings's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, PDD Holdings, headquartered in the US, reported its carbon emissions data, focusing on its carbon footprint in relation to revenue. The company disclosed a carbon footprint of approximately 0.071 kg CO2e per USD of revenue, although specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not provided. Currently, PDD Holdings has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments, nor does it participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Climate Pledge. The absence of disclosed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As PDD Holdings continues to navigate its environmental impact, it remains essential for the organisation to consider setting measurable targets and participating in industry-standard climate initiatives to enhance its sustainability profile.
