Borouge's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Borouge reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,331,743,000 kg CO2e. This figure reflects their ongoing commitment to monitoring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. The emissions data for 2023 does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3, but previous years indicate a significant focus on direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2). In 2022, Borouge's total emissions were about 3,199,644,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 3,122,861,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 2,310,389,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown fluctuations in emissions over the years, with a notable decrease from 2015, when emissions were about 4,219,069,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 4,219,069,000 kg CO2e; Scope 2: 2,293,569,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, Borouge has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to focus on improving its greenhouse gas intensity, which was reported at approximately 1,650 kg CO2e per tonne of throughput in 2023. Overall, while Borouge has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action in the future.
