Carbon Performance Canadian Utilities

Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Canadian Utilities sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.

Assessment Date:
TPI notes:

The company discloses emissions intensity and target using an emissions figure that is inconsistent with TPI’s methodology for this sector. The company does not disclose sufficient data to allow TPI to recalculate current carbon intensity according to TPI methodology or to estimate future Carbon Performance. When interpreting TPI Carbon Performance data, it is important to bear in mind that climate science shows temperature change is proportional to cumulative absolute CO2 emissions.
