- Are there carbon reduction targets and implementation pathways (carbon intensity reduction rate, net zero commitment)?
3. Pollution and Emission Control
- Whether the emission and treatment measures for waste gas, wastewater, and solid waste comply with emission standards.
- Hazardous waste management and compliance.
- Monitoring and disclosure mechanisms (whether there is a third-party audit or verification).
4. Climate Change Risks and Adaptation
- Physical risks: The impact of extreme weather, floods, heat waves, etc. on operations and supply chains.

- Response measures: risk identification, contingency planning, insurance coverage, and technology upgrades.
5. Resource utilization and efficiency
- Water resource consumption and recycling.
- Energy efficiency and energy-saving renovation status.
- Raw material utilization rate and circular economy practices.
6. ESG and Information Disclosure
- Whether or not an environmental or sustainability report is published.
- Whether to accept evaluations under international frameworks such as CDP, TCFD, and SBTi.
- Stakeholder communication and disclosure transparency.
7. Improvement and Investment Needs
