Kosmos Energy's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Kosmos Energy reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,913,000 kg CO2e, comprising 23,913,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions related to business travel, amounting to 391,000 kg CO2e. Kosmos Energy has demonstrated a commitment to transparency in its emissions reporting, disclosing data across all three scopes. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it has yet to establish formal goals for reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, Kosmos Energy's emissions data reflects its operational impact, and the company continues to engage in sustainability practices, although further commitments to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
