Premier Oil plc, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a merged entity and inherits its emissions data from Harbour Energy plc, which is at a cascade level of 1. As such, Premier Oil's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are closely aligned with those of Harbour Energy. At this time, Premier Oil plc has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it have any data reported through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of developing its climate strategy. As part of the broader industry context, Premier Oil's commitment to addressing climate change will likely evolve as it aligns with the sustainability goals of its parent organization. The company is expected to adopt industry-standard climate terminology and practices as it progresses in its environmental commitments.
