Alamos Gold's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Alamos Gold reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 378,960,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across all three scopes: 152,164,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 10,887,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 378,960,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled about 163,051,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of approximately 178,633,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with 168,822,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 9,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. The trend shows a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions from 2021, which were about 178,506,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 10,709,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite these figures, Alamos Gold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are independently sourced from Alamos Gold Inc. Overall, while Alamos Gold has made strides in tracking emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
