Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives, Athabasca Oil is committed to addressing its carbon footprint. The company has not reported any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. The absence of these commitments may reflect the broader industry context, where many oil and gas companies are under increasing pressure to enhance their climate strategies.
