Anglogold Ashanti's reported carbon emissions
AngloGold Ashanti, with its headquarters in ZA, has outlined ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term goal of achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The company has reported a significant reduction in its GHG emissions, decreasing them by more than two-thirds since 2007. For the near term, AngloGold Ashanti is targeting a 30% reduction in absolute GHG emissions by 2030, based on a 2021 baseline. This equates to reducing emissions from approximately 1.4 million tonnes of CO2e in 2021 to about 1 million tonnes of CO2e by the end of the decade. Factoring in growth projects, the company aims for a 46% reduction in emissions by 2030. Scope 1 emissions cover those from within the mine site, while Scope 2 emissions represent indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Recent Scope 1 and 2 emissions data shows: * **2024:** Approximately 1.47 billion kg CO2e. * **2023:** Approximately 1.47 billion kg CO2e. * **2022:** Approximately 1.48 billion kg CO2e. * **2021:** Approximately 1.38 billion kg CO2e. * **2020:** Approximately 1.30 billion kg CO2e. * **2019:** Approximately 1.27 billion kg CO2e. * **2018:** Approximately 2.6 billion kg CO2e. * **2017:** Approximately 4 billion kg CO2e. * **2016:** Approximately 4 billion kg CO2e. * **2015:** Approximately 4.2 billion kg CO2e. * **2014:** Approximately 4.6 billion kg CO2e. * **2013:** Approximately 4.6 billion kg CO2e. * **2012:** Approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e. * **2011:** Approximately 4.3 billion kg CO2e. * **2010:** Approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e. * **2009:** Approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e. * **2008:** Approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e. * **2007:** Approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e.
