The Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), headquartered in China (CN), currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges associated with the exchange. As of now, SHFE has not established any science-based targets or commitments to reduce emissions, nor does it inherit any emissions data from a parent or related organization. This lack of publicly available information suggests that the exchange may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy and commitments. In the broader context of the financial sector, many exchanges are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainability and are beginning to implement measures to address climate change. However, without specific data or commitments, it is challenging to assess SHFE's position in this evolving landscape.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Shanghai Futures Exchange is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
