In 2023, Andromeda Metals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 8,724,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 97 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and about 16,525,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. The breakdown of Scope 1 emissions includes 133,000 kg CO2e from mobile combustion and 5,514,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion. Scope 3 emissions were significantly influenced by purchased goods and services, which accounted for approximately 5,079,000 kg CO2e, alongside other categories such as employee commute and upstream transportation. In 2022, the company maintained similar emissions levels, with Scope 1 emissions at 66,100,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 114,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 10,000,000 kg CO2e. The emissions data from 2021 mirrored these figures, indicating a consistent carbon footprint across the years. Despite the substantial emissions reported, Andromeda Metals has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, Andromeda Metals may need to develop and communicate clear climate commitments to align with global efforts to mitigate climate change.
