In 2023, Yankuang reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22,095,100,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 17,557,400,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 45,376,000,000 kg CO2e for these scopes. This marked an increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions recorded at approximately 16,304,700,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 13,633,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling about 26,717,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, Yankuang's emissions were approximately 17,181,600,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 14,348,400,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of about 28,332,000,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a significant increase in emissions over the years, particularly in 2023. Despite these figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from Yankuang, which suggests a lack of formal commitments to mitigate their carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data further limits the understanding of their overall environmental impact. As a major player in the industry, Yankuang's emissions and climate strategies will be critical in addressing global climate change challenges.
