Orlen's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Orlen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 169,307,443,000 kg CO2e globally, with emissions broken down into Scope 1 (25,356,356,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (1,337,792,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (169,307,443,000 kg CO2e). This reflects a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting. Over the years, Orlen has shown fluctuations in emissions, with a notable reduction from approximately 6,388,176,000 kg CO2e in Poland in 2011 to 6,252,534,000 kg CO2e in 2012. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Orlen's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions across all scopes, particularly as they navigate the complexities of climate change and corporate responsibility. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Orlen is actively monitoring its emissions, further commitments may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
