Ovintiv's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Ovintiv, headquartered in the US, reported total emissions of approximately 3.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 3.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 and approximately 351.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were approximately 3.4 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 3.4 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 346.4 million kg CO2e. Ovintiv has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a gap in their reporting on upstream and downstream emissions. Furthermore, there are currently no documented reduction targets or climate pledges, which suggests that the company may not have formalised commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. The absence of specific reduction initiatives or targets highlights a potential area for improvement in Ovintiv's climate strategy, especially as the energy sector increasingly faces scrutiny regarding its environmental impact.
