In 2022, Seadrill reported total carbon emissions of approximately 856,644,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 586,024,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 405,630 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions amounted to about 170,004,080 kg CO2e, which includes categories such as business travel and purchased goods and services. Seadrill's emissions have fluctuated over the years. In 2021, the company emitted approximately 599,885,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 265,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 14,966,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Despite these significant emissions, Seadrill has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Seadrill's headquarters is located in BM, and the company operates within an industry that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of transparent climate commitments and effective emissions reduction strategies.
