ZTE, a Chinese telecommunications equipment and apparatus company, reported its latest total carbon emissions for 2025 as approximately 49.28 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 49.18 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 385.04 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions. For 2025, ZTE disclosed Scope 3 emissions related to waste generated in operations (about 46.89 billion kg CO2e), fuel and energy-related activities (about 387.95 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (about 387.95 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, ZTE's total emissions for 2024 were approximately 51.14 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 43.10 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 393.64 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 50.70 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, the total emissions stood at around 65.46 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 45.22 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, about 459.22 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 64.95 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

ZTE is committed to ambitious climate action, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. As part of its near-term goals, ZTE commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 52% by 2030, using 2021 as the base year. Furthermore, ZTE plans to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 52% per Terabyte throughput within the same timeframe. For its long-term objectives, ZTE targets a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040 (from a 2021 base year) and aims to maintain this reduction through 2050. Similarly, the company commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same long-term timeframe. ZTE also aims for operational carbon neutrality by 2040.
