Changan's reported carbon emissions

Changan, headquartered in CN, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of China Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices.
