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

In 2019, Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. reported carbon emissions of approximately 45,780 kg CO2e per megawatt (MW) of electricity produced, a reduction from about 52,020 kg CO2e per MW in 2018. This indicates a positive trend in their emissions intensity, reflecting their commitment to improving sustainability in their operations. However, specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed, and there are no documented climate pledges or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As a leading player in the solar energy sector, Suntech's focus on reducing emissions aligns with industry standards for climate action, although further transparency regarding their overall emissions (including Scope 1, 2, and 3) and future commitments would enhance their sustainability profile. Overall, while Suntech has made strides in reducing emissions intensity, the absence of comprehensive reduction targets highlights an area for potential growth in their climate strategy.
