Clsa's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, CLSA Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,262,510 kg CO2e, with the majority of these emissions, about 2,233,180 kg CO2e, attributed to Scope 2, specifically from purchased electricity. There is no reported data for Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions. As a current subsidiary of CITIC Securities Company Limited, CLSA's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, reflecting the broader corporate family's sustainability practices. However, CLSA has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment in line with industry standards. Overall, while CLSA has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction initiatives or targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
