BG Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2015, BG Group reported total carbon emissions of approximately 102,000,000,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 9,566,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 1,276,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 102,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. BG Group has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as per the latest data available. However, the company is part of an industry that is increasingly focusing on climate commitments and sustainability practices. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further engagement in climate action strategies to align with global efforts to mitigate climate change. Overall, BG Group's emissions data highlights the significant scale of its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest share for companies in the energy sector. As the industry evolves, BG Group may need to establish clear reduction goals to enhance its climate commitments and contribute to global sustainability efforts.
