In 2023, Oil Refineries Ltd. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 2.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 342.5 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions amounting to around 6.1 billion kg CO2e. The previous year, 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 8.5 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 2.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 329.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 5.9 billion kg CO2e. Despite these substantial emissions, Oil Refineries Ltd. has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company operates within a challenging industry context, where significant emissions are typical, yet it has not outlined a clear strategy for emissions reduction or climate pledges. Overall, while Oil Refineries Ltd. has demonstrated transparency in its emissions reporting, the lack of defined climate commitments raises questions about its long-term sustainability strategy.
