In 2024, Beach Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 437,409,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 18,648,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 5,668,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The company has shown a commitment to transparency by disclosing emissions across all three scopes, with significant contributions from capital goods and the use of sold products. In 2023, Beach Energy's emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 at about 436,110,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 18,199,000 kg CO2e. The company has maintained a consistent emissions intensity, with an equity Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity of about 10,500 kg CO2e per tonne. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Beach Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, Beach Energy's emissions data reflects a significant operational footprint, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, which are primarily associated with direct operations. The company’s commitment to climate transparency is evident, but further action may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
