Limited evidence. Published on 6 sources and 2 independent parties, below our full-confidence thresholds of 8 sources and 3 independent parties. Every source cited on this page passed the same quality checks as any other score: all live, none from data aggregators. There is simply less of it.
Wood Mackenzie discloses third-party-verified emissions data but has not committed to science-based targets, and a large widening of its Scope 3 boundary between 2023 and 2024 makes the trend hard to read. In 2023 Climate Home News reported that its research was used to support UK backing for a Mozambique gas project, and that UK Export Finance officials called the work "very light". Supplier engagement is at an early stage, and it discloses nothing on waste or water.
