Canary Wharf reports verified emissions data and has signed a renewable power purchase agreement that is not yet shown to be operating, but operational gas use rose 14% in 2025 and supply-chain decarbonisation excludes embodied carbon—the largest category. Net-zero slipped from 2030 to 2040. Transparency is solid; material weaknesses are real reductions.
