Avalon Advanced Materials's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Avalon Advanced Materials reported total carbon emissions of approximately 113,430 kg CO2e, comprising 88,790 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 9,040 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 15,600 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly from Scope 1 emissions, which saw a notable rise. The company's emissions data from earlier years shows fluctuations, with 2021 recording 135,430 kg CO2e in total emissions, while 2022 saw a reduction to 29,030 kg CO2e. Despite these variations, Avalon has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction at this time. Avalon Advanced Materials operates within a global context where the mining and materials sector faces increasing scrutiny regarding carbon footprints and sustainability practices. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
