Ovintiv's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Ovintiv reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,307,430,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 351,883,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 3,392,284,000 kg CO2e in 2022, while Scope 2 emissions also saw a minor reduction from 346,434,000 kg CO2e in the previous year. Ovintiv has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2). The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a proactive approach to mitigating climate change impacts. Overall, while Ovintiv has made some progress in reducing its carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction targets and comprehensive emissions data suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards and expectations for climate action.
