Roadmap of MSF OCG

To reduce its footprint, MSF OCG, with the support of the Climate Action Accelerator, has selected 32 tailored solutions. Together, they are the building blocks of a decarbonisation trajectory that will help OCG halve its carbon emissions by 2030 and reduce our impact on local environments. 

Over 90% of the emissions reduction goal over the next eight years relies on only eight main climate solutions. In addition to these priority solutions for carbon reduction, eight other solutions are considered critical to reduce local environmental degradation resulting from our field activities. A specific investment and project management effort will take place over the 2023-2025 period to accelerate the deployment of these key solutions in order to reach the first milestone of a 32% decrease in emissions by 2025. 

In a business-as-usual scenario, OCG’s emissions would continue to increase over the coming decade, in proportion to the growth of its operations. Reducing emissions by half means drastically decoupling the evolution of emissions from the growth of material activities. With this trajectory, OCG plans to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030, compared to its baseline emissions in 2019 and excluding any resort to carbon offsets. In intensity, meaning compared to their projected business-as-usual emissions (72,000 tCO2e in 2030), OCG will reduce its emissions by 52%.
