Afren PLC, headquartered in Great Britain, has reported its carbon emissions data up to 2014, with no specific emissions figures disclosed for subsequent years. In 2014, the company had an intensity ratio of approximately 0.45 tonnes CO2e per 1,000 tonnes of hydrocarbon produced. This figure indicates the carbon intensity of their operations, although total emissions data for Scope 1, 2, and 3 are not available. In previous years, Afren's emissions intensity ratios were as follows: 0.2 tonnes CO2e in 2013, 0.3 tonnes CO2e in 2012, and 0.4 tonnes CO2e in 2011. These figures suggest a fluctuating carbon intensity over the years, but no specific reduction targets or climate commitments have been documented. Currently, Afren PLC does not appear to have established any formal reduction initiatives or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change and reducing carbon footprints.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Afren PLC is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
