The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company operates within the mineral fuels and oils sector, where it has reported production emission factors, such as a bitumen GHG emissions intensity of approximately 9.22 kg CO2e per barrel in 2022. MEG Energy's climate commitments and strategies remain unspecified, reflecting a broader industry context where many companies are increasingly pressured to disclose and reduce their carbon footprints. Overall, while MEG Energy has provided some emissions data, it lacks comprehensive climate commitments or reduction initiatives, which may be a point of focus for stakeholders and investors concerned about sustainability practices.
