CSSC has not publicly disclosed emissions reduction targets for any of its scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions from its operations or its supply chain. Moreover, the company does not disclose its scope 1 and 2 emissions intensities. Given the insufficient data, it is not possible to provide a meaningful assessment of the company’s historic emissions intensity trend.

There is no evidence that CSSC has a low-carbon transition plan. The company should establish a time-bound action plan that outlines how it will transition to a low-carbon economy. The plan should include medium- and long-term targets, verifiable and quantifiable key performance indicators and financial commitments. Furthermore, it should be informed by scenario analysis to ensure its ambition aligns with a 1.5°C pathway. The company has not implemented board-level oversight and incentives for managing the low carbon transition. However, some of its current actions towards decarbonisation, such as retrofitting vessels with low-carbon technologies, can be seen as an opportunity to expand on and improve its future low-carbon performance.

CSSC does not disclose its current and future CapEx and R&D investments in low-carbon or climate mitigation technologies. Moreover, the company does not report enough information to provide a meaningful assessment of its projected scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity according to sectoral expectations.

No evidence was found to suggest the company engages with suppliers or clients on climate change issues or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction through strategies, initiatives or partnerships.
