BG Group Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Shell plc

BG Group Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Shell plc, and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from its parent organization. As of now, BG Group Limited has not publicly disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives. However, it is important to note that emissions data and climate strategies may be influenced by Shell plc's broader sustainability efforts, which include commitments to reduce carbon emissions across its operations. Given the lack of specific emissions data and reduction targets, BG Group Limited's climate commitments remain unclear. The company may align with industry standards and practices as part of its affiliation with Shell plc, which is known for its climate initiatives and reporting through platforms such as CDP and CA100. For a comprehensive understanding of BG Group Limited's climate impact and commitments, stakeholders may need to refer to Shell plc's disclosures and sustainability reports, as these may provide insights into the emissions and climate strategies that could affect BG Group Limited.
