GoodWe is a solar inverter manufacturer with first-year third-party-verified emissions data, but has no absolute reduction targets, no SBTi commitment, and tripled operational emissions between 2022 and 2024 due to scope expansion. Supply chain emissions (3.7M tCO₂e) lack granular breakdown and supplier reduction programmes. No science-based climate roadmap exists.
