The company has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, achieving a significant reduction in emissions over the years.

Ovintiv has disclosed emissions data for both Scope 1 and Scope 2, but there is no available data for Scope 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges, which suggests a need for further commitment in this area. Overall, while Ovintiv has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
