Anglo American's reported carbon emissions

Anglo American, headquartered in Great Britain, has outlined significant climate commitments and reported on its carbon emissions across various scopes. For 2025, Anglo American reported total emissions of approximately 90.6 billion kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 (approximately 1.1 billion kg CO2e), Scope 2 (approximately 500 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (approximately 88.1 billion kg CO2e). Within Scope 3, the largest components were the processing of sold products (approximately 78.4 billion kg CO2e) and downstream transportation and distribution (approximately 2.9 billion kg CO2e). In 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 28.05 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 400 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 26.67 billion kg CO2e. Anglo American is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The company has set an interim target of a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, against a 2016 baseline. This target is part of a broader ambition to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations by 2040. Furthermore, Anglo American aims to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2040, relative to a 2020 baseline. The company has also reported progress, with an ambition to reduce Scope 3 emissions by at least 50% by 2040. Recent data indicates a 14% year-on-year fall in Scope 3 emissions in 2021, largely attributed to an increase in iron ore sales to direct reduced iron - electric arc furnace (DRI-EAF) steel production. Anglo American's climate commitments are detailed in various sustainability reports and climate transition plans.
