Schlumberger announced today its commitment to setting a
science-based target to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Schlumberger's commitment has been submitted to the Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi) and, in line with the defined criteria,
Schlumberger will define its reduction target by 2021. This
commitment is part of the company's thought leadership and focus on
environmental and social sustainability through its
industry-leading Global Stewardship program.
Science-based targets in line with the latest climate science
must meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, an agreement developed
in 2016 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) that seeks to reduce GHG emissions. The Paris
Agreement focuses on limiting global warming to well-below 2°C
above pre-industrial levels.
Schlumberger CEO Olivier Le Peuch said, "The energy industry has
a key role to play in reducing the effects of climate change.
Schlumberger seeks to lead positive, measurable changes in GHG
emissions within the industry to help reduce climate change. The
application of our industry-leading environmentally responsible
technologies will help drive process efficiency and environmental
footprint reduction."
The SBTi champions science-based target setting as a powerful
way of boosting companies' competitive advantage in the transition
to the low-carbon economy. It is a collaboration between CDP, the
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), World Resources Institute
(WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and one of the We
Mean Business Coalition commitments.
