Despite these reductions, Iamgold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies in place to achieve further reductions. Overall, Iamgold's emissions data reflects a trend towards decreasing carbon emissions, although the lack of defined reduction initiatives highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
