- 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 established GHG emission reduction targets that are science-based and aligned with the objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C? Specify the framework and methodology utilized to determine these targets, including whether they follow a sectoral decarbonisation pathway. Detail the underlying climate and policy scenarios, and confirm if the targets have undergone external assurance. Additionally, provide a concise explanation of how future developments, such as changes in sales volumes, shifts in customer preferences and demand, regulatory factors, and new technologies, have been considered in setting these targets and their potential impact on both GHG emissions and emissions reductions.

In 2021, we became the first energy company to set a science-based net-zero target covering scope 1-3 emissions by 2040. Since then, we have made measurable progress and remain on track to meet our near-term scope 1-2 emissions intensity target. The SBTi’s target validation team classified the ambition of these targets across scopes 1-3 as aligned with a 1.5 °C trajectory, reflecting alignment with the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.
