Our Action on SDG 13

On Reducing Emissions:

• We invest in cross compression, pipeline coatings, vacuum purging, and advanced leak detection technologies to reduce emissions on our gas networks
• We connect low-carbon generation to our electricity networks
• We are working to add electric vehicles to our light duty fleet
• We are optimising heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting in our offices

On Climate Risk and Adaptation:

• We disclose our climate related risks and opportunities through the Taskforce for Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which helps us to understand the potential impacts of climate change and disclose how these risks and opportunities influence strategic decisions. 
   

Challenges we're facing

Achieving our emissions reductions targets relies on a combination of actions we take ourselves, as well as technological dependencies, policy and regulatory frameworks in the regions where we operate, and actions by others including businesses and consumers. Our ability to achieve our climate targets is driven by the policies put in place by the jurisdictions where we operate that support decarbonising their energy systems at a rapid pace. Political and economic headwinds have intensified. Governments face multiple pressures, including budget constraints and customer affordability concerns, which may impact the pace of decarbonisation. While the costs of some technologies continue to fall, the costs of other renewable technologies have risen, which is also impacting policy and the pace of the transition.

We anticipate an increase in climate hazards, including coastal flooding, in the areas where we operate. These hazards are unpredictable, and their impacts are dependent on the degree of warming that occurs.
