Santos's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Santos reported global carbon emissions of approximately 5.66 million tonnes CO2e from Scope 1 sources, which include direct emissions from their operations. Additionally, Scope 2 emissions, primarily from purchased electricity, were about 530 million tonnes CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the use of sold products, reached approximately 32.7 million tonnes CO2e. Santos has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions profile, it has yet to establish formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint. Overall, Santos's emissions data highlights the significant scale of its operations and the associated environmental impact, underscoring the need for robust climate commitments in the future.
