Black Hills Corporation's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Black Hills Corporation does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of publicly disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to summarise. In terms of climate commitments, Black Hills Corporation has not outlined any specific reduction targets or initiatives. The absence of documented reduction strategies or climate pledges suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. Given the current industry context, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives to mitigate climate impact. However, without specific commitments or data from Black Hills Corporation, it is challenging to assess their position relative to industry standards. Overall, the lack of emissions data and defined climate commitments highlights an opportunity for Black Hills Corporation to enhance transparency and align with broader climate action efforts within the energy sector.
