The absence of defined reduction strategies may limit their ability to effectively address climate change impacts. The company’s emissions data is self-reported and does not appear to be cascaded from any parent organization. As such, all figures and commitments are directly attributed to Whitecap Resources Inc. Overall, while Whitecap Resources has provided some emissions data, the lack of reduction targets and initiatives highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
