Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Orlen increased by 1.1%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Orlen were 26,048,350.82 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Orlen's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 8.64%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Orlen's Scope 1 emissions increased by 3.33%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2025, Orlen reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3,034,774.6 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 1,918,557.14 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Orlen's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Orlen's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Orlen's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) fell by 21.88% in 2025, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2025, Orlen reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Orlen reported 213,185,869.5 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Orlen includes a breakdown across 5 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Orlen reported total Scope 3 emissions of 213,185,869.5 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 22.24% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 77.76% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Orlen's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 19.61%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Orlen's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Orlen's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Orlen reported emissions for 5 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Orlen's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Orlen reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 25,207,965.16 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 71,702 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 351.56 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Orlen reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 351.56 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 350.58, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Orlen ranked 14 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Orlen is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Orlen reported a total carbon footprint of 241,152,777.46 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 1.46% increase compared to 2024, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Orlen's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 88.4% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 10.8%.a
