In 2022, Southwestern Energy Company reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,287,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 1,284,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and about 3,640,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their reports. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that Southwestern Energy may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. The emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, Southwestern Energy Company, indicating a corporate family relationship that may influence their climate commitments and reporting practices. As the energy sector increasingly focuses on sustainability, Southwestern Energy's future commitments and strategies will be crucial in addressing climate change and reducing their carbon footprint.
