Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), headquartered in Hong Kong (HK), reported its carbon emissions data, although specific absolute emissions figures were not disclosed. The corporation's emissions metrics include a gross global combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions per unit of total revenue, which stands at approximately 0.022 kg CO2e per USD of revenue. Additionally, emissions from transport activities across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3) are reported at about 7.09e-08 kg CO2e per km. KCRC has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded data from a parent or related organization. The absence of defined reduction strategies indicates a potential area for future development in their sustainability efforts. Overall, while KCRC has provided some emissions-related data, the lack of detailed absolute emissions figures and reduction commitments suggests that further transparency and action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate accountability.
