Vitol's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Vitol reported total carbon emissions of approximately 30.7 million tonnes CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 1.8 million tonnes CO2e. The company disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, including approximately 2.6 million tonnes CO2e from investments, 3 million tonnes CO2e from capital goods, and 10.1 million tonnes CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products. Comparatively, in 2022, Vitol's total emissions were about 28.2 million tonnes CO2e, maintaining Scope 1 emissions at 1.8 million tonnes CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year included approximately 3.2 million tonnes CO2e from investments and 7.4 million tonnes CO2e from the end-of-life treatment of sold products. Vitol's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Vitol S.A., and is part of a broader corporate family relationship. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce emissions at this time. Overall, Vitol's emissions profile highlights the significant impact of its operations, particularly in Scope 3 categories, while the absence of reduction initiatives suggests an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
