PSO's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Pakistan State Oil Company Limited (PSO) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 6,400,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents the company's overall emissions but does not specify the breakdown into Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, as no detailed scope data has been disclosed. Currently, PSO has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor does it participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies indicates that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. As PSO operates within the oil and gas sector, it faces increasing pressure to address its carbon footprint and align with global climate commitments. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating that these figures are independently reported. Overall, while PSO's emissions are significant, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and contribute to broader sustainability goals.
