Bp's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, BP reported total carbon emissions of approximately 32100000000 kg CO2e, comprising 31100000000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1000000000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 314900000000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. BP has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies to reduce emissions at this time. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that BP may be focusing on other aspects of its sustainability strategy rather than quantifiable emissions reductions. Overall, BP's emissions data highlights the significant scale of its carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full impact of its operations on climate change.
