Western Refining, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Marathon Petroleum Corporation

Western Refining, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Marathon Petroleum Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges directly attributed to Western Refining, Inc. However, emissions data and climate initiatives may be inherited from its parent company, Marathon Petroleum Corporation. This includes potential commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and other climate-related frameworks, although specific details on these initiatives are not provided. Given the lack of direct emissions data and reduction targets, it is essential to consider the broader context of the refining industry, which is increasingly focusing on sustainability and emissions reduction. Companies in this sector are often under pressure to improve their environmental performance and align with global climate goals. In summary, while Western Refining, Inc. does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, its affiliation with Marathon Petroleum Corporation may play a role in shaping its climate commitments and strategies moving forward.
