Picc's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Picc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,649,250 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion at about 474,490 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions from purchased heat and electricity totalling approximately 3,558,140 kg CO2e and 13,356,760 kg CO2e, respectively. This marks a slight increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 18,528,300 kg CO2e, with similar Scope 1 and Scope 2 figures. Over the past few years, Picc has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. The emissions data is not cascaded from a parent company, and all figures are reported directly from Picc. The organization has not set any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. In summary, while Picc's emissions have shown a general upward trend, the company has yet to establish clear reduction commitments or initiatives to address its carbon emissions effectively.
