Below expectationsPending Review

E.ON has SBTi-validated 1.5°C targets with absolute reduction commitments, but delivery remains unverified. Scope 3 accounting exists yet lacks granular disclosure. Nature, water, and circular economy reporting are minimal or absent. Trade association membership with fossil fuel advocates undermines climate messaging.
