The company continues to focus on managing its carbon footprint, particularly through its energy consumption practices, as indicated by its substantial Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity. Overall, New China Life Insurance is making strides in reducing its carbon emissions, but further transparency regarding its long-term climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
