WesternGeco Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Schlumberger Limited

WesternGeco Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, 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 cascaded from its parent organization. However, no specific reduction targets or climate commitments have been outlined for WesternGeco Limited. As part of its corporate family, WesternGeco may align with broader sustainability initiatives and climate strategies set forth by Schlumberger Limited. This includes potential participation in industry-standard frameworks such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), although specific details regarding emissions or reduction targets are not available at this time. In summary, while WesternGeco Limited does not currently disclose its own emissions data or reduction commitments, it is positioned within a corporate structure that may influence its climate strategies through the practices and targets of its parent company, Schlumberger Limited.
