Question Id: E1-1_13
Our approach to resilience analysis consists of two main components: assessing and managing transition risks and opportunities, and conducting physical climate risk assessments. Transition risks stem from a shift to a low-carbon economy and encompass factors such as new regulations, technological innovation, changing market dynamics, and shifting consumer preferences. We have effectively mitigated these risks by transforming our business model from fossil fuels to renewable energy, aligning our operations with a 1.5 °C climate trajectory. This proactive shift has positioned us well to capitalise on the increasing demand for renewable energy deployment.

- 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.
