WGL Holdings, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from AltaGas Ltd.

The company is a current subsidiary of AltaGas Ltd., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As of now, WGL Holdings has not established any documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges. The absence of emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
