Assore Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2019, Assore Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,248,696,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 372,600,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 82,789,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This data indicates a significant carbon footprint, primarily driven by direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2). Over the years, Assore has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2018, the company recorded approximately 1,216,079,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 349,419,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 79,589,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3. In 2017, emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 at about 1,231,687,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 344,413,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 64,771,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Assore Limited has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate commitment framework. As a company headquartered in South Africa (ZA), Assore operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon reduction. However, without clear targets or commitments, the path forward for Assore in addressing climate change remains uncertain.
