Over the years, Perseus Mining has shown a trend of increasing total emissions, with 2020 recording 275,853,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions alone, indicating a significant reliance on upstream activities. The company has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to effectively address its carbon footprint in the long term. Perseus Mining's emissions intensity per ounce of gold produced has varied, with the latest data indicating approximately 18,134.36 kg CO2e per ounce in 2023. The company has disclosed emissions data across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, reflecting a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon impact. Overall, while Perseus Mining has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
