Polluting companies may be subject to mandatory targets set by a government under an emissions scheme or may set such targets voluntarily – e.g. as part of their net-zero transition plan.
The accounting may require judgement, based on the specific facts and circumstances of a mandatory scheme or a voluntary commitment, which may vary.
