ONGC has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As a major player in the oil and gas sector, ONGC's emissions profile is critical in the context of global climate change efforts, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in emissions reporting. Overall, while ONGC's emissions data provides insight into its environmental impact, the lack of defined reduction targets indicates an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
