Carbon Performance China Southern

Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the China Southern sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.

Assessment Date:
TPI notes:

The company discloses an emissions intensity using an activity measure and/or emissions figure that is inconsistent with TPI’s methodology for this sector. The carbon intensity has been recalculated according to TPI methodology. The company has not disclosed quantitative targets to reduce its emissions, which TPI can use to estimate future carbon performance. When interpreting TPI Carbon Performance data, it is important to bear in mind that climate science shows temperature change is proportional to cumulative absolute CO2 emissions.
