Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2019, Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd., headquartered in China (CN), reported carbon emissions of approximately 45,780 kg CO2e per megawatt (MW) of electricity produced. This figure represents the company's carbon intensity but does not specify Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, as no detailed emissions data has been disclosed for these categories. In 2018, the carbon emissions per MW were higher, at about 52,020 kg CO2e, indicating a potential improvement in their operational efficiency or a shift towards cleaner energy sources. Despite these figures, Suntech has not established specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it has yet to formalise a comprehensive strategy for emissions reduction. Suntech's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the company operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. As the renewable energy sector evolves, Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. may need to enhance its climate strategies to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
