In 2023, China Southern Airlines completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy).
However, China Southern Airlines has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.
