It highlights the alignment between China’s evolving policies and Cascale’s decarbonization programs, targeting a 45 percent GHG emissions reduction across the consumer goods value chain by 2030. Emphasizing the critical role that Cascale members and the broader industry can play, the report underscores China’s potential to significantly contribute to global decarbonization efforts. With its status as the world’s second-largest economy (approximately $19 trillion GDP in 20241,2) and its ambitious climate commitments (to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 20603), China is positioned to leverage both domestic policies and international collaboration to advance a low-carbon transition. At the same time, ensuring decent work for the millions employed in this sector remains pivotal. Robust economic growth coupled with proactive sustainability initiatives – guided by China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (FYP) and “dual carbon” strategy4 – suggest that the country can pursue high-quality development that balances industrial expansion with climate action and social responsibility. Amid evolving global market dynamics, China’s trajectory will heavily influence progress toward Cascale’s decarbonization goals.42.

The country’s national targets (peaking CO2 by 2030, net-zero by 2060) are in line with Cascale’s vision for decarbonization. By engaging with China’s emerging “dual carbon” policies and corporate programs, businesses can support glo
