PDD Holdings's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, PDD Holdings, headquartered in the US, reported its carbon emissions data, although specific absolute emissions figures were not disclosed. The company has not provided detailed information on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor has it outlined any specific reduction targets or achievements. PDD Holdings has not cascaded emissions data from any parent or related organisations, indicating that its climate commitments and performance are independently reported. The absence of disclosed reduction initiatives or climate pledges suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while PDD Holdings operates within a significant revenue framework of approximately $34.9 billion, its current climate commitments and emissions data remain unspecified, highlighting an opportunity for future transparency and action in addressing carbon emissions.
