Antofagasta Minerals's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Antofagasta Minerals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,188,386,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,188,386,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 530,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled approximately 10,200 kg CO2e. Over the years, Antofagasta has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, the total emissions were about 1,303,020,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1,113,581,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 95,953,000 kg CO2e. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future focus. The emissions intensity for copper production has varied, with the most recent data showing an intensity of about 1,690 kg CO2e per tonne of copper produced in 2023. This reflects ongoing efforts to monitor and manage emissions, although no formal reduction targets have been established. Overall, while Antofagasta Minerals has made strides in tracking its carbon footprint, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further commitments may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
