Emissions Reduction Goals and Performance
Range continues to advance toward our short-term, medium-term, and long-term objectives specifically related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, keeping us on track to achieve our strategic goal of net zero GHG emissions by 2025, which has been expanded to include Scope 1 and Scope 2. We view scope 2 emissions as part of our GHG inventory and believe this added commitment strengthens our sustainability goals.
