The Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), headquartered in China (CN), currently does not report any carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of specific 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 commitments to reduce emissions or participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Without available data or commitments, it is unclear how the exchange plans to address climate change or manage its carbon footprint. In the broader context of the financial sector, many exchanges are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainability and are setting ambitious targets to reduce their environmental impact. However, SHFE has yet to publicly align with these industry trends.
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.
