ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,380 kg CO2e, comprising 2,770 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 610 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions.

The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus on direct and indirect emissions from its operations and energy use. Despite the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments, ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited is part of a larger corporate family, with emissions data cascaded from its parent company, ArcelorMittal S.A. This relationship may influence its climate strategies and commitments. Overall, while ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited has made progress in managing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action in alignment with industry standards.
