Cheniere has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment in this area. Over the past few years, Cheniere's emissions have shown variability, with Scope 1 emissions peaking in 2022. The company has not reported any formal climate commitments or reduction initiatives, which places it in a challenging position within the industry as stakeholders increasingly demand transparency and accountability regarding climate impact. Overall, while Cheniere Energy has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of reduction targets and commitments may hinder its ability to align with global climate goals.
