Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Origin Energy (Electricity Utility) sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.
The company discloses an emissions intensity and target using an activity measure and/or emissions figure that is inconsistent with TPI’s methodology for this sector. The carbon intensity has been recalculated according to TPI methodology. TPI has not made any further assumptions in order to project this company’s 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.
