The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint, nor has it committed to any science-based targets for emissions reduction. Overall, while Novatek has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets raises questions about its long-term climate commitments and strategies for mitigating climate impact.
