Chevron sets net-zero 2050 target for upstream emissions
Firm also sets 2028 scope three emissions reduction target of 5pc below 2016 baseline by 2028
US oil major Chevron has adopted a net-zero target for its scope one and scope two greenhouse gas emissions as well as a target to reduce scope one, two and three emissions by at least 5pc below a 2016 baseline by 2028.
