Shell Canada Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Shell plc

In 2021, Shell Canada Limited reported carbon emissions of approximately 14,000,000,000 kg CO2e, specifically from Scope 2 emissions. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Shell plc, reflecting the company's broader operational impact. Currently, Shell Canada has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments indicates a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. As a current subsidiary of Shell plc, Shell Canada is part of a larger corporate family that is expected to align with the sustainability goals set by its parent organisation. However, without specific targets or initiatives outlined for Shell Canada, the focus remains on the significant emissions reported for 2021.
