The total emissions for that year were around 14,175,120 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Capricorn Energy has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, ensuring that the reported figures are solely from Capricorn Energy PLC. Overall, while Capricorn Energy has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, further commitments to reduction initiatives would enhance its climate strategy.
