The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. Notably, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their current commitments, which may suggest a need for enhanced climate strategies in line with industry standards. Southwest Gas Holdings operates within the US and has not inherited emissions data from any parent company, maintaining its own reporting and performance metrics. The absence of significant reduction initiatives or targets may limit its alignment with broader climate goals, highlighting an opportunity for the company to enhance its sustainability efforts.
