Limited | Scorpio Tankers identifies a range of concrete climate-policy instruments it follows, naming the EU Emissions Trading System, the wider “Fit for 55” package (including the FuelEU Maritime Regulation and Energy Taxation Directive), the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and the International Maritime Organization’s Revised GHG Strategy and proposed carbon tax. Statements such as “Scorpio Tankers is fully prepared to comply with these mechanisms” and that it is “well-positioned to remain aligned with the IMO’s strategy” confirm the company’s awareness and claimed engagement with these measures. Yet the company offers no detail on how it tries to influence these policies: it does not describe meetings, letters, consultation submissions, or activity through industry associations, nor does it identify any specific governmental or regulatory targets. Similarly, its policy positions remain broad—“Our current approach is to continue to align ourselves with the International Maritime Organization’s 2023 Revised GHG Strategy and other relevant emissions mandates”—without outlining the amendments or legislative outcomes it seeks beyond general support for lower emissions and compliance. As a result, while the policies under consideration are clearly named, the transparency of Scorpio Tankers’ lobbying mechanisms and desired outcomes remains minimal. | 1 |
