TCL Technology's reported carbon emissions

TCL Technology, an IT and computer services company headquartered in China, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 65.2 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. In the preceding year, 2023, TCL Technology's total emissions were approximately 60.5 billion kg CO2e. The company has established significant climate commitments. In 2023, TCL Technology released its Carbon Neutrality White Paper, outlining a commitment to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality for its operational emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2050. Further demonstrating its commitment to climate science, Suzhou CSOT, a subsidiary of TCL CSOT, joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in December 2024. This pilot project sets short-term carbon reduction goals, with the Suzhou base committed to reducing its absolute emissions from its own operations by 42% by 2030, using 2023 as the baseline. In 2024, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 751.9 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 8.9 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were considerably higher, standing at approximately 55.6 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2024 included the processing of sold products (approximately 1.6 billion kg CO2e) and the end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 161.2 million kg CO2e). For 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 465.6 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 8.5 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions in 2023 were approximately 51.5 billion kg CO2e, with the processing of sold products accounting for roughly 2.0 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, TCL Technology disclosed Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions totalling approximately 5.8 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions for that year were approximately 261.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 5.5 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions data was not disclosed for 2022.
