- Provide a qualitative assessment of the potential locked-in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from your company's key assets and products. Explain whether and how these emissions could jeopardize the achievement of your GHG emission reduction targets and contribute to transition risk. Additionally, if applicable, describe your company's plans to manage its GHG-intensive and energy-intensive assets and products.

Question Id: E1-1_07
We recognise the importance of tackling the impacts of our legacy business, as locked-in emissions pose a significant transition challenge if left unaddressed. To guide progress toward our net-zero goals, we have set an absolute emissions reduction target for scope 3 emissions from gas sales, aiming to reduce emissions by ~67% by 2030 (baseline 2018) and by ~90% by 2040. To mitigate potential risks associated with locked-in emissions, we focus on measurable performance and avoiding additional locked-in emissions by not entering into new gas sourcing agreements that would contribute to additional locked-in emissions.

- Has the undertaking set GHG emission reduction targets, and if so, what is the current base year and baseline value? Additionally, from 2030 onwards, has the undertaking updated the base year for its GHG emission reduction targets every five years? Furthermore, is there any past progress made in meeting these targets before the current base year, and is this information consistent with the requirements of this Standard?

Yes, the undertaking has set GHG emission reduction targets. The current base year is 2018, and the baseline value for Scope 1-2 GHG emissions intensity is 136 g CO2e/kWh. The baseline value for Scope 3 GHG emissions from gas sales is 24 Mt CO2e. The table does not provide information on updating the base year every five years from 2030 onwards or past progress before the current base year.
