TORM's assets are dedicated to carrying fossil fuels, by its own account. Scope 1 emissions are up 47% since 2021 and were flat in 2025; total emissions are 14% above 2021 despite a 43% cut in carbon intensity against the IMO's 2008 baseline. Renewables are 0.1% of its energy use. Its 2030 Scope 1 ceiling sits about 39% above 2021, no target is SBTi-validated, and independent evidence on the company is thin.
