The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled about 102.1 million kg CO2e, encompassing categories such as capital goods, business travel, and purchased goods and services. In 2022, Diamond Offshore's total emissions were approximately 319.8 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 318.9 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 941,000 kg CO2e. Notably, there is no available data for Scope 3 emissions for that year. Despite the significant emissions figures, Diamond Offshore has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Diamond Offshore Drilling, Inc., reflecting the company's current subsidiary status within the corporate family. Overall, while Diamond Offshore has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, further commitments to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
