Orlen's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Orlen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 169,307,443,000 kg CO2e globally. This figure includes emissions from all three scopes: Scope 1 emissions were about 25,356,356,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions totalled approximately 1,337,792,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached around 169,307,443,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Orlen has shown a commitment to addressing its carbon footprint, with significant emissions recorded in previous years. For instance, in 2019, total emissions were about 178,227,273,000 kg CO2e, which indicates a complex landscape of emissions management. Despite the substantial emissions figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Orlen. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in setting and achieving ambitious climate goals. As the company continues to operate within the energy sector, it faces increasing pressure to enhance its sustainability practices and reduce its overall carbon emissions.
