PDD Holdings's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, PDD Holdings, headquartered in the US, reported no specific carbon emissions data, including Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions. The absence of disclosed emissions figures indicates a lack of transparency regarding their carbon footprint. Furthermore, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges, suggesting that the company has not yet committed to specific initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, PDD Holdings currently does not have measurable climate commitments or reduction strategies in place.
