Founded in 1996, the company has established itself as a leader in the acquisition and management of oil and gas royalties, primarily focusing on the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Freehold Royalties distinguishes itself through its unique business model, which centres on generating revenue from a diverse portfolio of royalty interests rather than direct production.

With a strong market position, Freehold Royalties has achieved notable milestones, including consistent dividend payments and a robust asset base, making it a preferred choice for investors seeking exposure to the energy sector.

In 2021, Freehold Royalties reported total emissions of approximately 435,000 kg CO2e, comprising 9,100 kg CO2e from Scope 1 (fugitive emissions), 261,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 (purchased electricity), and 5,390 kg CO2e from Scope 3 (business travel). This marked a significant reduction from 2020, where total emissions were about 547,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 7,100 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 338,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 818,300 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions of 25,600 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 293,000 kg CO2e. The reduction in emissions over the years indicates a positive trend towards minimising their carbon footprint. Despite these reductions, Freehold Royalties has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal climate pledges suggests that while the company is actively reducing emissions, it may not yet have established comprehensive long-term climate commitments.
