Alamos Gold's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Alamos Gold reported total carbon emissions of approximately 152,164,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 10,887,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and a significant 378,960,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The combined total for Scope 1 and 2 emissions was about 163,051,000 kg CO2e. This data reflects a comprehensive approach to emissions reporting, covering all relevant scopes. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of 168,822,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of 9,600,000 kg CO2e, indicating a reduction in Scope 1 emissions in 2023. However, the Scope 3 emissions increased, highlighting the challenges in managing indirect emissions associated with the supply chain and product lifecycle. Alamos Gold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations. Overall, Alamos Gold's emissions data underscores the importance of transparency in carbon reporting, while the lack of formal reduction commitments points to an opportunity for the company to strengthen its climate action framework.
