I agree, it has somewhat become an obsession to ask for emissions data, but reality is that materiality of ESG factors need to be taken into account in the context of a particular company. Additionally, simply collecting emissions data may result in better data coverage for ESG reporting, but we shouldn’t forget about the “so what?”, meaning, once we understand the emissions levels and sources, what are we doing about it? What are the meaningful transition plans and actions we want to see? Admittedly, regulations had played a big role in driving the reporting obsessions, but let’s hope the bigger picture doesn’t get lost 🙏
