Black Hills Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Black Hills Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. Consequently, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures to analyse. In the absence of concrete emissions data, it is important to note that the company has not outlined any specific reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of publicly available information on their climate commitments suggests that Black Hills Corporation may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive strategy to address carbon emissions and climate change. As the energy sector increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be crucial for Black Hills Corporation to establish clear emissions reduction goals and transparent reporting practices to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
