Promise Their own work or organisation

Ørsted targets at least 95% of its heat and power generation to be green in 2023.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

What would count as true or false

Test: was the green share of Ørsted's heat and power generation in 2023 at least 95%, as Ørsted reports this metric? True: the 2023 figure is at least 95%, or rounds to 95%. Mostly true: at least 95% was reached in 2023 with a minor discrepancy in definition or detail. Mostly false: the share was 90% to under 95%, or 95% was reached only after 2023. False: the share was below 90%, or the target was abandoned.

Evidence (1)

  1. E1 A world that runs entirely on green energy Ørsted · 2017 Own record

    “Ørsted's target Ørsted's current performance 100% Green energy share ≥95% by 2023 100% Carbon reduction * (g CO2e/kWh) 96% by 2023”

Reasoning

The only evidence, E1, is Ørsted's 2017 sustainability report, which sets the target of at least 95% green energy share by 2023. It is the subject's own statement of the target and reports no 2023 outcome. Without a reported 2023 figure or an independent account, the evidence does not settle whether the target was met.
