Despite these figures, China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it report any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organization, indicating that it independently reports its emissions and climate commitments. Overall, while China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited has made some progress in reducing its emissions over the years, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for more structured climate action moving forward.
