Seadrill's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Seadrill reported total carbon emissions of approximately 856,643,740 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 586,469,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 emissions, while Scope 3 emissions accounted for approximately 270,174,740 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (about 170,004,080 kg CO2e) and downstream leased assets (approximately 41,404,990 kg CO2e). Seadrill has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. However, the company is actively engaged in monitoring its emissions across all scopes, indicating a commitment to understanding and potentially addressing its environmental impact. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while Seadrill is aware of its emissions, it may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. The headquarters of Seadrill is located in BM, and the company operates within the global offshore drilling industry, which is increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
