Atalaya Mining's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Atalaya Mining reported total carbon emissions of approximately 367,658,430 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 5,449,310 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 100,049,280 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions amounting to about 262,159,840 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of around 359,170,050 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2,359,590 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 100,559,680 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 256,214,770 kg CO2e. This indicates a slight increase in total emissions year-on-year. Atalaya Mining has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes (1, 2, and 3) for the years 2020 to 2023. The GHG emissions intensity for Scope 1 and 2 combined was reported at 420.0 tCO2eq per tonne of copper concentrate in 2023, while the total emissions intensity across all scopes was approximately 1,450.0 tCO2eq per tonne. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Atalaya Mining has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Atalaya Mining has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction initiatives highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
