The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus on direct and indirect emissions from its operations. Despite the substantial emissions figures, China Shenhua has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it reported any SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, China Shenhua Energy Company Limited, reflecting the company's current subsidiary status within the corporate family. Overall, while China Shenhua's emissions remain high, the recent data suggests a trend towards reduction, although further commitments and transparency regarding future targets would enhance its climate strategy.
