Zai Lab's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Zai Lab, headquartered in China, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 59.8 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 294,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4.1 million kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 55.5 million kg CO2e. The latter includes major categories such as purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 52.6 million kg CO2e. In 2023, Zai Lab's total emissions were approximately 70.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 14,550 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at approximately 4.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 65.6 million kg CO2e, primarily driven by purchased goods and services. Zai Lab has made commitments to reduce its carbon footprint, although specific reduction targets have been removed or expired. The company is currently classified as having committed to near-term targets, but it has not set a net-zero target. The organisation operates within the Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences sector, and its emissions data is sourced directly from Zai Lab Limited without any cascading from a parent company. Overall, Zai Lab's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of Scope 3 emissions, particularly from its supply chain, while the company continues to navigate its climate commitments in a rapidly evolving industry landscape.
