Engen Petroleum Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Vivo Energy Limited

Engen Petroleum Ltd., headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Vitol Holding B.V., which has cascading emissions data from its corporate family. However, no specific emissions figures or reduction targets have been disclosed for Engen Petroleum Ltd. itself. The company has not outlined any specific climate commitments or reduction initiatives, nor does it appear to have set Science-Based Targets (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate pledges. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Engen Petroleum Ltd. may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As part of the broader industry context, companies in the petroleum sector are increasingly under pressure to disclose emissions and set ambitious reduction targets to align with global climate goals. Engen Petroleum Ltd. will need to develop and communicate its climate commitments to remain competitive and responsible in the evolving energy landscape.
