In 2023, Westlake Chemical Partners reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,822,583,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 124,610,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, resulting in combined emissions of about 1,947,193,000 kg CO2e. This marks a decrease from 2022, where emissions were approximately 2,033,394,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 135,813,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, leading to total emissions of around 2,169,207,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not reported any Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the emissions per tonne of production for Scope 1 and 2 combined was reported at approximately 953.0 metric tons CO2e per tonne of production in 2023. Despite these figures, Westlake Chemical Partners has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they participated in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Westlake Chemical Partners has made strides in tracking and reporting emissions, the lack of reduction initiatives highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
