Additionally, the company disclosed Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 35,500,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a significant operational footprint, particularly in Scope 2 emissions, which are primarily associated with electricity consumption. Comparatively, in 2022, the company's emissions were approximately 21,517,090 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with no Scope 3 data reported. This indicates an increase in emissions year-on-year, highlighting the need for enhanced climate strategies. Currently, China Yangtze Power has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to effectively address its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments.
