Cepsa's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Cepsa reported carbon emissions of approximately 100,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 40,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and about 58,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3, totalling around 58,140,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which primarily include the use of sold products. Cepsa's emissions have fluctuated over the years, with notable figures from previous years including 6,776,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 for 2019 and 5,779,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 for 2020. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for improvement in transparency regarding its sustainability strategies. Overall, Cepsa's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced by the energy sector in managing carbon outputs, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are often the most substantial. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that Cepsa may need to enhance its climate action framework to align with industry standards and expectations for corporate responsibility in emissions management.
