Southwestern Energy's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Southwestern Energy Company reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,283,972,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 3,640,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a decrease from 2021, where emissions were about 1,548,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 5,910,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite these figures, Southwestern Energy has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further action in aligning with industry standards for climate accountability. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, Southwestern Energy Company, and is part of a broader corporate family relationship with Expand Energy Corporation, which influences their reporting and performance metrics. Overall, while Southwestern Energy has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies indicates an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
