Jx Nippon Mining And Metals's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Jx Nippon Mining and Metals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,840,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 484,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 235,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,994,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a continued commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint across all scopes. The company has demonstrated a significant reduction in emissions intensity at their smelters and refineries, with a decrease from about 1,340 kg CO2e per tonne in 1990 to approximately 470 kg CO2e per tonne in 2021. This indicates a proactive approach to improving operational efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the years. Despite these achievements, Jx Nippon Mining and Metals has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction commitments suggests a potential area for growth in their climate strategy, aligning with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction.
