UIL Holdings Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Iberdrola, S.A.

UIL Holdings Corporation, 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 Avangrid, Inc., which is part of the Iberdrola, S.A. corporate family. As such, UIL Holdings may inherit climate commitments and targets from these parent organisations. UIL Holdings Corporation's climate initiatives are influenced by the sustainability strategies of Iberdrola, S.A., which has established science-based targets (SBTi) and other climate pledges aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for UIL Holdings itself have not been disclosed. As a subsidiary, UIL Holdings is expected to align with the broader climate commitments of its parent companies, which include initiatives under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Climate Pledge. These initiatives focus on significant reductions in carbon emissions across various scopes, although specific figures for UIL Holdings are not provided. In summary, while UIL Holdings Corporation is part of a larger corporate structure with ambitious climate goals, it currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets at the subsidiary level.
