The company has set a corporate methane emissions intensity reduction target of 4,000 kg CO2e per unit of revenue, reflecting its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with industry standards. As a current subsidiary of Enerplus Corporation, emissions data and reduction initiatives are cascaded from the parent company. However, no specific science-based targets (SBTi) or climate pledges have been reported, suggesting that while Enerplus is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may still be developing comprehensive long-term climate commitments.
