Carbon performance at a glance
Our carbon targets for all energy we sell, Scope 1, 2 and 3
In 2021 we continued our progress on our path to net zero by 2050.
At the end of 2021, we had reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 18%, our Scope 3 emissions by 16%, and the net carbon intensity of our energy products by 2.5%, all from our 2016 reference year.
