Compared to the previous year (2023), China Overseas's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) rose by 10.77% in 2024, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2024, China Overseas reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, China Overseas reported 2,600 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 2024 disclosure of China Overseas includes a breakdown across 1 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, China Overseas reported total Scope 3 emissions of 2,600 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, China Overseas's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 336.97%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), China Overseas's Scope 3 emissions increased by 23.05%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2024, China Overseas reported emissions for 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2024, the largest contributors to China Overseas's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, China Overseas reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 8,162 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 25,371 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.32 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, China Overseas reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.32 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1.44, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, China Overseas ranked 9 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
China Overseas is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, China Overseas reported a total carbon footprint of 159,283 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 8.68% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to China Overseas's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 93.24% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 5.12%.a
