Powercor Australia Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Victoria Power Networks Pty Ltd

Powercor Australia Limited currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Victoria Power Networks Pty Ltd, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. Despite the lack of direct emissions data, Powercor Australia Limited is part of a broader corporate family that is engaged in climate initiatives. The emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Victoria Power Networks Pty Ltd, which operates under the umbrella of Victoria Power Networks (Finance) Pty Ltd. However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed. Powercor Australia Limited has not publicly committed to any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other significant climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy. In summary, while Powercor Australia Limited is linked to a larger corporate structure that may have climate commitments, it currently lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets. The company will need to enhance its transparency and commitment to climate action to align with industry standards and expectations.
