In 2022, Seadrill reported total carbon emissions of approximately 856,644,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 586,023,880 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, steam, heating, and cooling. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 270,620,000 kg CO2e, encompassing various categories such as business travel and purchased goods and services. In previous years, Seadrill's emissions were as follows: in 2021, total emissions were about 615,116,000 kg CO2e; in 2020, they were approximately 738,298,000 kg CO2e; and in 2019, total emissions reached around 921,891,000 kg CO2e. Notably, there was a significant reduction from 2019 to 2021, indicating a positive trend in their emissions management. Despite these figures, Seadrill has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or similar frameworks. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies for future reductions. Seadrill's headquarters is located in BM, and the company operates within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. As such, ongoing monitoring and potential future commitments to emissions reduction will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
