  • Achieve Zero Routine Flaring (ZRF) across our operated assets by 2030

Carbon emissions

We recognise that climate change presents both significant risks and critical opportunities for our business, our sector, and the communities we serve. As a UK North Sea operator, we are committed to playing a leading role in the transition to a lower-carbon future while continuing to provide secure and reliable energy.

Methane emissions

During 2024, Ithaca Energy signed the United Nations Environment Programme Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 memorandum of understanding. We further developed our methane action plan to align with the OGMP framework, setting out a staged methane mitigation approach, focusing on each source and their materiality, and set our baseline year for reporting.

Water, spills and waste

We take a proactive approach to managing environmental aspects by systematically identifying, monitoring, and reducing environmental impact. We regularly assess our operations, set measurable environmental objectives, and engage employees in environmental awareness and initiatives.

Through this structured approach, Ithaca Energy strives to minimise waste, reduce emissions, and promote environmental stewardship while achieving business goals.
