Shanghai Electric's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Shanghai Electric reported total carbon emissions of approximately 330,073,140 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 80,450,610 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 249,622,530 kg CO2e. The company's emissions have shown fluctuations over recent years, with a total of about 382,335,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and a decrease to approximately 336,517,950 kg CO2e projected for 2024. Shanghai Electric has disclosed emissions across all three scopes: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. In 2021, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of about 137,200,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 154,430,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 291,630,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Shanghai Electric is actively monitoring its emissions, it has not yet formalised specific goals for reducing its carbon footprint. This context highlights the importance of ongoing efforts within the industry to establish and pursue meaningful climate commitments.
