Occidental Petroleum

"Occidental Petroleum's net zero target is to achieve net-zero for scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions before 2050, with an interim target of net-zero for operational and energy use emissions (Scope 1 and 2) before 2040, and the ambition to accomplish this before 2035. Net Zero Tracker
An interesting fact about their environmental policy is that they have a publicly available plan that outlines steps towards their target, including information on expected emission reductions within a certain time period and measures for all emission scopes covered by the target. Net Zero Tracker
In addition, you can check out the net-zero …"

Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Occidental Petroleum belongs to the sector Energy.
