In 2023, Allkem reported total carbon emissions of approximately 135,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 135,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 135,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 215,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from the processing of sold products (about 79,000,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 82,000,000 kg CO2e). In 2022, Allkem's emissions were recorded at approximately 134,700,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined, with Scope 1 emissions at about 119,700,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Allkem 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 yet have formalised a strategy for significant reductions in line with industry standards.
