The company has not specified what gases are covered by its target, nor does it specify if scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions are covered. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about Berkshire Hathaway's environmental policy is that it does not have a publicly available plan that lays out steps toward any target, and it has no reporting mechanism in place. Net Zero Tracker
In addition, you can check out the net-zero commitments and data for the relevant actors:"
