In 2021, Grupa Lotos reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.5 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 2.1 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 475 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data for this year. This represents a slight decrease from 2020, where total emissions were approximately 2.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 2.1 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 476 million kg CO2e. Grupa Lotos's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Grupa LOTOS S.A., and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Orlen S.A., which provides additional context for their emissions reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Grupa Lotos, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company has disclosed emissions data for multiple years, showing a consistent focus on tracking and reporting its carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests that Grupa Lotos may need to enhance its reporting practices to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations. Overall, while Grupa Lotos has made strides in emissions reporting, further commitments and reduction initiatives would strengthen its climate strategy.
