Saudi Aramco is the world's largest corporate emitter, refusing to disclose ~96% of its emissions (Scope 3: 1.6–1.84 billion tonnes CO₂e annually) while pursuing intensity-only targets that explicitly allow absolute emissions to rise. Active lobbying against climate policy, greenwashing complaints, and UN human rights warnings mark a company prioritising shareholder returns over climate responsibility.
