Compared to the previous year (2024), CEZ's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 613.33% in 2025, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2025, CEZ reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, CEZ reported 13,814,779 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of CEZ includes a breakdown across 7 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, CEZ reported total Scope 3 emissions of 13,814,779 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 32.8% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 67.2% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, CEZ's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 24.6%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), CEZ's Scope 3 emissions increased by 16.86%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2025, CEZ reported emissions for 7 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to CEZ's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, CEZ reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 14,110,741 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 15,275 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 923.77 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, CEZ reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 923.77 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1,040.58, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, CEZ ranked 12 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
CEZ is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, CEZ reported a total carbon footprint of 27,925,627 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.3% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to CEZ's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 50.53% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 49.47%.a
