The absence of emissions data suggests that the company may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. As a current subsidiary of Vitol Holding II S.A., any potential emissions data or climate initiatives may be inherited from this parent organisation. However, no specific figures or targets have been disclosed at this level either. Vitol Holding B.V. is part of an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon reduction, and it may benefit from aligning with broader initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to enhance its climate strategy in the future.
