China Molybdenum's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, China Molybdenum reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,590,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 1,070,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 520,000,000 kg CO2e. This marked an increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 1,320,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, the company has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with total emissions recorded at approximately 1,030,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and 920,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. The emissions data indicates a trend of increasing emissions in recent years, despite the company's significant revenue growth, which reached approximately 26,268,734,878 USD in 2023. China Molybdenum has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. Overall, while China Molybdenum's emissions have increased, the lack of defined climate commitments raises questions about its long-term sustainability strategy in the context of global climate goals.
