Pacific Drilling Company LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Noble Corporation plc

Pacific Drilling Company LLC, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Noble Corporation plc, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting. While there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Pacific Drilling, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Noble Corporation plc. This relationship suggests that any climate commitments or emissions reductions may align with Noble Corporation's strategies and targets. As of now, Pacific Drilling has not established specific science-based targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), nor does it report any initiatives related to renewable energy or climate pledges. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives highlights a potential area for improvement in transparency and accountability regarding climate impact. In summary, while Pacific Drilling Company LLC does not currently provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Noble Corporation plc may play a role in shaping its future climate commitments and performance.
