Despite these figures, China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not currently disclose Scope 3 emissions data, which encompasses indirect emissions in its value chain. The absence of reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in aligning with industry standards for climate action. Overall, while the company has made some progress in reducing emissions over the years, further commitments and transparency regarding its climate strategy would enhance its sustainability profile.
