The article discusses the pressing issue of CO2 emissions and their impact on the environment, especially in light of the recent “Carbon Majors” report. This report identifies major contributors to CO2 emissions, including companies in the oil, gas, coal, and cement industries like Sasol, which ranked 56th among top polluters from 2016 to 2022.
Despite global commitments such as the Paris Climate Agreement, many fossil fuel companies have seen an increase in emissions, highlighting the challenge of combating climate change. In 2023, global CO2 emissions reached a record high, emphasizing the need for immediate action to reduce emissions and protect the planet.
Sasol, while aiming for a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050, showed a slight increase in emissions in 2023 due to production rates and process inefficiencies. However, concerns have been raised by groups like JustShare regarding Sasol’s progress in meeting these targets.
It is essential for large companies, especially those in the fossil fuel sector, to take responsibility for reducing CO2 emissions to address climate change effectively and safeguard the environment for future generations. The urgency highlighted in the “Carbon Majors” report underscores the critical need for concrete actions to secure a sustainable future for the planet.
