They're now halfway through a decade-long programme to become both carbon negative and water positive by 2030, so this is pretty embarrassing for them.

At the start of the programme in FY20, they produced 13 mtCO2e. In FY25 they reported 20 mtCO2e. Honestly, this should be being reported as a 54% increase in the time period that matters.

For those suffering from the heatwaves: enjoy the cold, next year will be warmer.
