Catl's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, CATL reported total carbon emissions of approximately 42,889,610,850 kg CO2e. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 765,338,970 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,477,835,080 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions accounted for around 40,705,473,660 kg CO2e. The company's emissions have shown fluctuations over the years, with a notable decrease from 2021, when total emissions were approximately 1,992,798,339.74 kg CO2e, to 2022, where they dropped to about 17,065,701,060 kg CO2e. However, emissions increased again in 2023. CATL has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies in this area. The company has reported greenhouse gas emissions per unit product, with figures such as 7,000 kg CO2e per tonne of sales product in 2018 and 11,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2019, reflecting its operational intensity in relation to its production output. Overall, while CATL's emissions data provides insight into its carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate action commitments moving forward.
