This marked an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 2,367,913,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1,630,470,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 1,363,300,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Yankuang's emissions have fluctuated, with total emissions recorded at approximately 2,114,527,000 kg CO2e in 2018, decreasing to about 1,983,298,000 kg CO2e in 2019, and then rising again to approximately 2,042,183,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding its climate strategy. Yankuang's emissions intensity has shown variability, with reported values of 43.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2018, decreasing to 38.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2019, and then stabilising around 40.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2020. The lack of defined reduction targets suggests that while Yankuang is aware of its emissions profile, it may need to establish clearer commitments to align with global climate goals.
