Castrol's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Castrol, headquartered in Great Britain, reported an average carbon intensity of approximately 2,140 kg CO2e per litre for its products, although specific total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 were not disclosed. This data is cascaded from its parent company, BP p.l.c., reflecting the company's commitment to sustainability within the broader corporate family. Currently, Castrol has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future development in their climate strategy. The absence of disclosed emissions data suggests that while Castrol is actively engaged in sustainability initiatives, more transparency regarding their overall carbon footprint and reduction commitments would enhance their climate accountability. As a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., Castrol's climate initiatives may align with the broader goals of its parent company, which is known for its efforts in reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to more sustainable practices. However, without specific targets or achievements outlined for Castrol, the focus remains on their product carbon intensity as a key metric of their environmental impact.
