PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Duke Energy Corporation

Piedmont Natural Gas, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc., and its climate commitments and performance data are cascaded from its parent organisation, Duke Energy Corporation. While Piedmont Natural Gas has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that it inherits climate-related commitments and performance metrics from Duke Energy Corporation. This includes participation in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Climate Action 100+ (CA100), which aim to enhance transparency and accountability in climate action. As a subsidiary, Piedmont Natural Gas aligns with the broader sustainability goals set by Duke Energy, which may include efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition towards cleaner energy sources. However, without specific emissions data or defined reduction targets, the company's individual climate commitments remain unclear.
