However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been disclosed, and there are no reported initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. It is important to note that emissions data for China Shenhua is cascaded from its parent company, China Shenhua Energy Company Limited, which provides the foundational emissions data and performance metrics. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Overall, while China Shenhua has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests a need for more structured climate commitments moving forward.
