The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. ZTO Express's emissions intensity per parcel has shown a decreasing trend, with the latest reported figure being approximately 0.064 kg CO2e per parcel in 2023. This suggests a commitment to improving operational efficiency and reducing emissions relative to their output. However, without specific reduction targets, the long-term effectiveness of these efforts remains uncertain.
