Western Geco S.A.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Schlumberger Limited

Western Geco S.A., headquartered in Argentina, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Schlumberger Limited, which provides emissions data at a higher corporate level. As such, any climate commitments or reduction targets may be influenced by initiatives from Schlumberger Limited. While Western Geco S.A. does not have its own documented reduction targets or climate pledges, it is important to note that it inherits climate performance metrics from its parent company. Schlumberger Limited has been actively involved in sustainability efforts, which may indirectly impact Western Geco's operational strategies. As of now, Western Geco S.A. has not established specific science-based targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other recognised frameworks. The company’s climate strategy may evolve as it aligns with the broader sustainability goals set by Schlumberger Limited, but specific details remain unspecified. In summary, Western Geco S.A. is currently without reported emissions data or defined climate commitments, relying on the sustainability initiatives of its parent company, Schlumberger Limited, for guidance in its environmental strategies.
