Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited

Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The organisation is a current subsidiary of Bank of China (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. As a part of its climate strategy, Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited inherits its emissions data and reduction initiatives from its parent company, BOC Hong Kong (Holdings) Limited, at a cascade level of 1. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for this subsidiary. In the broader context, the banking sector is increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon neutrality, with many institutions setting ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints. While Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or initiatives, it is essential for financial institutions to align with global climate goals to mitigate climate change impacts. Overall, the lack of detailed emissions data and reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited to enhance its transparency and accountability in climate action.
