Notes on Emissions

2007 emissions include both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions

Our total CO2 emissions have increased between 2006 and 2007 from 6 million tonnes CO2e to 7 million tonnes CO2e. However, at the same time, our efficiency has increased. Our business has grown between 2006 and 2007 – we added more than 60,000 base stations (which account for most of our energy use and thus also CO2 emissions) to accommodate nearly 70 million new customers we added during that timeframe.

Climate Change Strategy Details

We first seek to reduce our own emissions as a company through efficiencies in our base stations, buildings and equipment. In addition, we are using our telecommunications expertise to design products and services that help our business partners, customers, and society reduce their emissions.

Our Green Action Plan: In 2007 China Mobile initiated our Green Action Plan to improve our efforts at energy conservation and reducing emissions. In 2008 we began to fully implement this program, with positive implications for our company, our industry, our customers and the public.

The Green Action Plan includes:

• Managing emissions in our own company by initiating a Management System for Energy Conservation and Reducing Emissions

• Managing emissions in our industry by improving cooperation with suppliers

• Reducing energy use in our network equipment

• Managing emissions from our customers and the public by:
- Using information services to conserve energy and reduce emissions
- Increasing public participation in environmental protection
