Major Drilling's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Major Drilling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 93,928,000 kg CO2e, comprising 80,720,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 13,208,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked an increase from 2020, where emissions totalled about 73,470,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 62,762,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 10,708,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, the company recorded total emissions of around 68,083,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 59,802,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 8,281,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Major Drilling has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has yet to commit to formal reduction strategies. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Major Drilling's future climate commitments will be crucial in aligning with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
