Orlen

ORLEN, headquartered in PL and operating in the Petroleum Refineries industry, has reported significant carbon emissions. For the reporting year 2025, ORLEN's total emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, were approximately 26.6 billion kg CO2e. This breaks down into Scope 1 emissions of about 24.2 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2.6 billion kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2025 were substantial, totalling around 213.2 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 26.2 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 23.3 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) at roughly 3.0 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were around 210.0 billion kg CO2e.

The company's commitment to climate action includes achieving full climate neutrality by 2050, a goal reiterated across multiple reports. ORLEN has also set a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 emissions from its existing refinery and petrochemical assets by 20% by 2030, with a base year of 2019. Furthermore, they aim to reduce CO2 emissions per megawatt-hour of electricity by 33% by 2030, also from a 2019 baseline.

ORLEN made a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 in September 2020 and was the first energy company in its region to announce a Net Zero target by 2050. Another target focuses on reducing Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions from existing refining and petrochemical assets by 20% by 2030, compared to 2019. For Scope 1 emissions specifically, ORLEN aims to reduce them by 13% by 2030 and 25% by 2035, relative to the 2019 base year. An additional target aims to reduce a specific Scope 1 indicator by 40% by 2030 and 55% by 2035, also relative to 2019.

ORLEN's strategy also considers Scope 3 downstream emissions, with a goal to not identify a material risk of carbon lock-in associated with the use of sold products by 2035, taking into account measures to maintain current production and sales volumes of liquid hydrocarbons and petroleum-based fuels while transforming their product portfolio towards lower-carbon energy products.
