In 2022, Vitol Holding B.V., headquartered in the Netherlands, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 16,600 kg CO2e. This figure includes 1,600 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which represent direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Additionally, significant contributions to their carbon footprint came from Scope 3 emissions, with 4,400 kg CO2e attributed to the use of sold products, 3,500 kg CO2e from the processing of sold products, and 3,300 kg CO2e related to purchased goods and services. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Vitol has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of defined climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Vitol's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in the context of global climate commitments.
