Major Drilling's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Major Drilling reported total emissions of approximately 93,928,000 kg CO2e, which included 80,720,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 13,208,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed emissions data for 2022, but it has indicated an intensity figure of about 143,500 kg CO2e per million CAD in revenue for that year. Despite the significant emissions reported, Major Drilling has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of disclosed Scope 3 emissions further highlights the need for more comprehensive climate strategies within the organisation. Overall, while Major Drilling has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and accountability in the future.
