For two decades, Sempra has been on a sustained path to decarbonize its business operations and the markets it serves with a goal of transitioning to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Earlier this year, Sempra set a target to reach net-zero GHG emissions across all three scopes by 2050, with an interim target of 50% reduction in its\u00a0California\u00a0utilities and\u00a0Mexico\u00a0(non-LNG) scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline. Sempra’s\u00a0California\u00a0utilities, SDG&E and SoCalGas, have also set individual net-zero goals across all three scopes in line with\u00a0California’s\u00a0goal to be net-zero economy-wide by 2045. Sempra and its family of companies also have critical goals towards achieving world-class safety, driving resilient operations and championing people.
