Drillsearch Energy Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Beach Energy Limited

Drillsearch Energy Limited, headquartered in Australia, currently does not report any specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Beach Energy Limited, which may influence its climate-related strategies and performance metrics. As of now, Drillsearch Energy Limited has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
