This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are primarily driven by the use of sold products. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 3,659,267,350 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 180,136,440 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 634,570 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a growing carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the broader impact of their operations. Despite the increase in emissions, Parex Resources has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to disclose its emissions data, which is essential for transparency and accountability in the context of climate commitments. Overall, while Parex Resources is actively reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
