Comparatively, in 2020, the company’s Scope 1 emissions in the US were about 423,777,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight reduction in emissions year-on-year. The global emissions for the same year were approximately 527,489,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 60,136,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, totalling around 587,749,000 kg CO2e. Centennial Resource Development has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a potential area for future reporting and commitment. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the figures are independently reported. Overall, while Centennial Resource Development has made strides in tracking and reporting its carbon emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies may enhance its climate action profile in the industry.
