Washington Gas Light Company's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from AltaGas Ltd.

Washington Gas Light 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 AltaGas Ltd., which may influence its climate strategies and reporting practices.
