Oil & Gas

Accelerating decarbonisation and centering shareholder value

The oil and gas sector produces around 5.1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, accounting for nearly 15% of total energy-related emissions globally.

Steel Value Chain

Driving the shift to green steel, green iron and future-ready investment

Iron and steel production is responsible for around 7-9% of global CO₂ emissions - more than any other industrial sector, including aviation and shipping.

Coal & Mining

Promoting orderly and Paris-aligned transition pathways

Mining accounts for 4-7% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. An estimated 3-6% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from fugitive methane (leaks) from coal mines, which is far more potent than CO₂ in the short term.

Utilities

Pushing for decarbonised, resilient energy systems

The power and utilities sector is responsible for roughly 30% of global energy-related GHG emissions, with electricity/heat generation alone making up about 29.7%. While fossil fuels still dominate (around 80% of global energy), renewables are rapidly growing.
