With reference to the relevant requirements of the Climate Change-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Guidance, the IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Climate Disclosure Guidance, we systematically integrate climate governance into the Group's operations and management.
- Governance: The Board of Directors has established a Sustainability Steering Group to oversee the implementation of the Group’s climate action plan and emission reduction targets. At the same time, each department, as the executive level, promotes the effective implementation of the climate action plan.
- Strategy: For the assessment of physical risks, the Group has, from the Year onwards, adopted the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenario combinations established under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), replacing the previous RCP-only scenarios based on AR5. The SSP framework combines physical climate pathways with socioeconomic narratives, which not only meets the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's expectation that issuers adopt scenarios aligned with the latest international climate agreements in their scenario analysis, but also enables a more comprehensive assessment of the mitigating effects of adaptive capacity on actual losses. In addition, the underlying Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models provide higher spatial resolution, thereby enhancing the accuracy of climate risk projections for the Group's principal operating regions in China.In the transition risk assessment, Bosideng selected the International Energy Agency's "Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario" (NZE 2050) and "Stated Policies Scenario" (IEA STEPS) as the benchmark analysis framework.
- Impact, Risk, and Opportunity Management: As Bosideng's highest-level direct management on climate change, the Sustainability Steering Group is responsible for annually collaborating with relevant Group departments to carry out specific climate-related risk management tasks. They report to and provide advice on these tasks to the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board is responsible for overseeing the climate-related risk management plan and reviewing the potential impact of climate-related risks on the company's strategic planning, thereby providing strategic risk oversight.
- Metrics and Targets: Bosideng regularly conducts GHG emissions inventories within its organizational and reporting boundaries each year and reports on its climate performance through the CDP Climate Questionnaire. Greenhouse gas emissions have once again obtained ISO 14064-1:2018 reasonable assurance level certification, achieving a YoY decrease in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions for two consecutive years.
