Oil Search Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Santos Limited

Oil Search Limited, headquartered in Papua New Guinea (PG), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is part of a merged entity with Santos Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting. As of now, Oil Search Limited has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it have any climate pledges documented. However, it is important to note that emissions data and climate strategies may be inherited from its parent company, Santos Limited. This includes potential targets set by Santos Limited under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks. Given the lack of direct emissions data, stakeholders should monitor future disclosures from Oil Search Limited and its parent company for updates on carbon emissions and climate commitments.
