Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

A verifiable improvement in methane emissions strengthens regulators' confidence and may improve PCG's ESG scoring, potentially lowering cost of capital and supporting safer energy operations; historical analogs show regulatory-ESG milestones often shift sentiment and credit views more than near-term earnings.
