Anglo American Platinum, headquartered in South Africa and operating in the chemical and fertiliser minerals and other mining and quarrying products industry, has reported its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

For 2023, the company's Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalled approximately 4.29 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at about 3.83 billion kg CO2e. Key categories contributing to Scope 3 emissions in 2023 included purchased goods and services (approximately 1.59 billion kg CO2e) and capital goods (around 634.12 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2022, Anglo American Platinum reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 3.8 billion kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of about 3.56 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, the company disclosed Scope 1 emissions of approximately 27.12 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 3.93 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 3.25 billion kg CO2e.

Anglo American Platinum has established several climate commitments. The company aims for an absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, against a 2016 baseline. This target is cascaded from its ultimate parent, Anglo American plc, and applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, Anglo American Platinum is working towards carbon neutrality for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040. The company also aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 50% by 2040, against a 2020 baseline, with a focus on managing its supply chain as a critical component of this ambition.
