In 2023, Petrofac, headquartered in Great Britain, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 167,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 5,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of around 172,000,000 kg CO2e. This marks a reduction from 2022, where emissions were approximately 192,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 5,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to a total of about 197,000,000 kg CO2e. Petrofac has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a structured approach to emissions reduction. Over the years, Petrofac's emissions have shown fluctuations, with the highest recorded emissions in 2020 at approximately 260,000,000 kg CO2e. The company’s GHG intensity has also varied, reflecting changes in revenue and operational efficiency. Overall, while Petrofac has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets and comprehensive Scope 3 data suggests that further commitments and transparency could enhance its climate strategy.
