Saudi Aramco

Saudi Aramco is the world’s largest integrated oil and gas company, producing approximately 12.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Its operations generate outsized greenhouse gas emissions relative to its industry peers. The company’s reported Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from wholly owned and operated assets are managed under an internal program, but its disclosed climate strategy centers on reducing the carbon intensity of its operations rather than absolute emissions reductions. This approach stands in contrast to the sector’s most ambitious transition pathways, which require absolute declines in fossil fuel production. ClientEarth has flagged Aramco’s climate claims for potential greenwashing, noting the tension between its stated environmental stewardship and its core business model of expanding hydrocarbon production. The company’s emissions profile remains among the highest in the global energy sector, with no announced plan to phase out its primary product.
