Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were recorded at about 215,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from the processing of sold products (approximately 79,000,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (around 82,000,000 kg CO2e). The total emissions from Scope 1 and 2 combined were approximately 134,700,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Allkem's emissions were lower, with Scope 1 emissions at about 119,700,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at around 82,000,000 kg CO2e. The total for Scope 1 and 2 was approximately 120,708,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Allkem has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. Allkem's headquarters is located in Australia, and they are actively engaged in the lithium industry, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact.
