In 2023, Sensetime reported total carbon emissions of approximately 364,610 kg CO2e. This figure includes 0 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 103,040 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 261,570 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The data indicates a significant reliance on indirect emissions, as evidenced by the absence of Scope 1 emissions. Comparatively, in 2022, Sensetime's total emissions were approximately 30,573,600 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 169,600 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 30,404,000 kg CO2e. The 2021 emissions were approximately 7,301,100 kg CO2e, comprising 337,100 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 6,964,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This trend suggests a substantial reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these figures, Sensetime has not established any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The absence of cascading data from a parent organisation suggests that Sensetime's emissions data is independently reported. Overall, Sensetime's emissions profile highlights a critical focus on Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, with opportunities for enhanced climate commitments and reduction initiatives in the future.
