Shinkong Insurance's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Shinkong Insurance, headquartered in Taiwan (TW), reported a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of approximately 962.63 kg CO2e per employee. This figure reflects the company's commitment to monitoring its carbon footprint, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not disclosed. The company has shown a slight improvement in GHG emission intensity from 2021, where it was about 833.0 kg CO2e per employee, and from 2020, which recorded approximately 854.29 kg CO2e per employee. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their current commitments. Shinkong Insurance does not inherit emissions data from any parent company, indicating that its climate performance metrics are independently reported. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is tracking its GHG emissions, it may need to establish more robust climate commitments and targets to align with industry standards.
