Our Sustainability Agenda
Sustainability Governance at NNPC Limited
NNPC Limited’s sustainability governance ensures strong oversight and alignment. The Board Sustainability Committee (BSC) provides oversight, while the Senior Management Team (SMT) aligns strategy with business priorities.

The Sustainability Implementation Council (SIC) drives execution, collaboration, and KPI integration across the organization.
Our Strategic Objectives
Our NET ZERO Pathway
NNPC Limited’s net zero pathway outlines a structured, phased approach to decarbonisation, anchored on its verified emissions baseline. The roadmap prioritizes immediate operational improvements while enabling long-term transition to low-carbon energy systems.
Near-Term Focus (2030 Pathway)
The near-term strategy focuses on high-impact, readily implementable actions to reduce emissions across operations. Key priorities include: - Eliminating routine gas flaring and reducing methane emissions - Enhancing operational efficiency and asset performance - Deploying proven technologies with immediate emissions benefits These measures establish a strong foundation for sustained emissions reduction.
Long-Term Transition (2050 Pathway)
The long-term pathway emphasizes deep decarbonisation and energy transition initiatives, including: - Adoption of advanced low-carbon technologies - Electrification of operations and renewable energy integration - Carbon capture and storage (CCS) Residual emissions are expected to be addressed through nature-based solutions and carbon offset mechanisms.
Emission Footprint
0
Scope 1 (Direct Emissions)
NNPC Limited’s Scope 1 emissions total 39.454 MtCO₂e (68.8%), representing the largest share of its carbon footprint. These emissions arise primarily from direct operational activities, including upstream production, gas processing, and refining, making them the core focus for internal decarbonization efforts.
Scope 2 (Indirect Energy Emissions)
Scope 2 emissions account for 0.016 MtCO₂e (0.03%), reflecting emissions from purchased electricity and energy consumption. The relatively small share indicates limited dependence on external power sources across operations.

0
Scope 3 (Value Chain Emissions)
NNPC’s Scope 3 emissions stand at 17.910 MtCO₂e (31.2%), driven by value chain activities such as product transportation, distribution, and end-use consumption. These emissions highlight the importance of broader stakeholder engagement and low-carbon value chain strategies.
