Environmental commitments: Empty promises or challenges to be faced?

As the world increasingly takes concrete action to address climate change, companies of all kinds have made ambitious commitments to join the fight to safeguard the environment. Currently, there are thousands of companies seeking to become more sustainable, incorporating new strategies to reduce their carbon footprints, energy and water use, and diminish the use of non-recyclable products, among other things.

Among the promises made by companies to address climate change, there is a particular focus on reducing carbon emissions to achieve neutrality, balancing the number of emissions released into the atmosphere with an amount naturally removed.

Each year, we see more companies adopting emission reduction goals and announcing measures to achieve carbon neutrality in the coming decades. Among the companies committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2050 or earlier are giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, Ericsson, IKEA, and Unilever.

However, it is crucial to realize that reducing emissions will not become a reality overnight, especially since there is a significant gap between the ambition of the companies’ pledges and the actions taken to turn them into reality. Looking closely, it seems that many companies have expressed unrealistic objectives in a short timeframe, without a clear strategy, and with low consistency in their activities.

Along these lines, The Financial Times published an article asserting that none of the world’s largest oil and gas companies are on track to meet their climate goals, despite public promises to do so.

As a fundamental element for oil companies to achieve their goals towards a neutral and clean energy transition, there must be an effort to optimize oil extraction processes with a sustainable vision. This is a high-impact, critical process, which goes a long way in generating guarantees for companies to maintain their environmental commitments without sacrificing their productivity and profitability.
