In 2023, Andromeda Metals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,727,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 8,724,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, primarily from stationary combustion (about 5,514,000 kg CO2e) and mobile combustion (about 133,000 kg CO2e). The company did not report any Scope 2 emissions, while Scope 3 emissions were significant at approximately 16,525,000 kg CO2e, with notable contributions from employee commuting (about 401,000 kg CO2e) and waste generated in operations (about 389,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Andromeda Metals has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no disclosed SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. The absence of reduction initiatives suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent or related organization, indicating that these figures are solely from Andromeda Metals Limited. The company is positioned within the mining sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of establishing robust climate commitments moving forward.
