Southern Union Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Energy Transfer LP

Southern Union Company, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP, which may influence its climate strategies and reporting practices. While Southern Union Company has not established specific reduction targets or commitments, it inherits emissions data from its parent company, Energy Transfer LP, at a cascade level of 2. This relationship may provide insights into broader corporate climate initiatives, although specific figures or targets are not disclosed. Additionally, emissions data from Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company, LP, a related entity at a cascade level of 1, may also inform Southern Union's environmental impact, but again, no specific emissions figures or reduction initiatives are available. In summary, Southern Union Company currently lacks detailed emissions reporting and specific climate commitments, reflecting a broader context of corporate climate responsibility within its parent organisation.
