According to the "Evaluation Report on Environmental Responsibility Information Disclosure of Chinese Listed Companies (2022)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") jointly released by the China Environmental Journalists Association and Beijing University of Chemical Technology"Double carbon" has become another important breakthrough point in the disclosure of environmental responsibility information of Chinese enterprisesAccording to the report, among the 5,078 listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen, the total number of enterprises that released effective samples such as social responsibility reports, ESG reports, sustainability reports, environmental reports and corporate citizenship reports in 2022 reached 1,675, accounting for 32 of all listed companies99%, an increase of 387 or 25 from the previous year42%。
The number of enterprises publishing relevant reports has increased year by year, and the level of disclosure has steadily improved, reflecting the deepening of enterprises' understanding of national policies and the continuous improvement of their awareness of environmental information disclosure. Bai Zhijun, secretary general of the China Environmental Journalists Association, said. According to the report, 1,584 listed companies disclosed carbon information to varying degrees this year, accounting for 94 of the 1,675 companies that released valid samples57%, compared with the proportion of disclosure in 2021 (83.).25%), 1132%。The score rate of carbon information disclosure of enterprises has increased significantly. The overall average score of the 1,675 listed companies in the greenhouse gas environmental performance was 3255%；Among them, a total of 770 enterprises exceeded the average scoring rate, accounting for 45 of all enterprises97%。A number of experts involved in the study believe that listed companies should strengthen external exchanges and cooperation to enhance their brand image of environmental responsibility. At the same time, enterprises should integrate environmental responsibility into their strategic planning to better support sustainable development.

Taking the carbon footprint analysis system independently developed by "Zhongchuang Footprint" as an example, with reference to ISO 14067, PAS 2050, GG Protocol and other product carbon emission accounting standards, it helps users quantify the direct or indirect greenhouse gases emitted in the process of product life cycle, from raw material mining, product production (or service provision), transportation, use to waste disposal and recycling, etc., analyze and identify the hot links of greenhouse gas emissions, and issue product carbon emission reports. Assist in formulating carbon reduction plans, help users cope with international green barriers, and enhance product competitiveness.
Building a Product Carbon Footprint Model:Establish a product life cycle analysis model, covering multiple stages such as raw material extraction, product production, transportation, use and waste disposal and recycling.
Complete data collection:According to the product LCA model, the relevant data from the production process of the product is entered into the system. The "Zhongchuang Footprint" carbon footprint analysis system supports multi-department collaboration to complete data collection, and can import data according to templates to improve efficiency.
Calculation Analysis:Calculate the carbon footprint of the product, and comprehensively and standardize the carbon emission data in the life cycle. It can flexibly output multi-dimensional data and analyze results from different dimensionsThe "Zhongchuang Footprint" carbon footprint analysis system can provide a variety of outputs and various types of visualization results, which is more intuitive and efficient.
Generate a carbon footprint report:The "Zhongchuang Footprint" carbon footprint analysis system can provide different carbon footprint report templates for users to choose from, which is convenient to use, and users in different industries can also customize the report template to meet different needs, and can preview and print the report.
As the importance of carbon footprint continues to increase internationally, many countries have begun to develop regulations and standards that require companies to assess and report on the carbon footprint of their products or services. At the same time, some international organizations and agreements have also begun to incorporate carbon footprint into the formulation of rules, which makes carbon footprint an important part of the international rule system. For enterprises, green transformation is no longer an optional question and a plus, but a mandatory question, no longer just a social responsibility issue, but a major event related to the life and death of enterprises.
