Orlen's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Orlen reported total carbon emissions of approximately 25.4 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. This figure represents a decrease from 27.6 million tonnes CO2e in 2022.

Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the value chain, were significant, amounting to approximately 169.3 million tonnes CO2e in 2023. This includes emissions from the use of sold products, which alone accounted for about 148.8 million tonnes CO2e. Orlen has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets under frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Their CDP scores have been rated as "F" in recent assessments, indicating a need for improvement in their climate strategy and transparency. Overall, while Orlen has made strides in reducing its direct emissions, the substantial Scope 3 emissions highlight the ongoing challenges in addressing the full impact of its operations on climate change.
