In 2021, in order to establish a baseline for our operational net-zero target, we performed a comprehensive analysis of our energy usage and scope 1 and 2 emissions footprint. As a result of this analysis, we updated our GHG accounting methodology to include the data collection and estimations for all our facilities and fleets for all our controlled entities around the world. This update expanded upon the previously reported energy and emissions. Under the updated methodology, the 2021 energy and scope 1 and 2 emissions data accounts for 100% of UnitedHealth Group-controlled operations. See page 62 for more information about the drivers of the change in 2021 total energy and emissions.
