Borouge's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Borouge reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,331,743,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions across Scope 1 and Scope 2, with no data available for Scope 3 emissions. In previous years, emissions have shown a general trend of fluctuation, with 2022 emissions at about 3,199,644,000 kg CO2e and 2021 at approximately 3,069,848,000 kg CO2e. Borouge's emissions data indicates a significant reduction from 2015, when total emissions were about 6,510,000,000 kg CO2e (4,219,069,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2,293,569,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2). The company has made strides in improving its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity, achieving a GHG intensity of approximately 1,650 kg CO2e per tonne of throughput in 2023, down from 1,900 kg CO2e per tonne in 2015. Despite these reductions, Borouge has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined climate pledges suggests that while Borouge is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may need to establish clearer commitments to align with global climate goals.
