Base Resources's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Base Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 59,399,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight decrease from the previous year's total of about 62,266,000 kg CO2e, which included 21,904,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 40,362,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions in 2022. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the reported reductions, Base Resources has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to further decrease their carbon footprint. The emissions data is cascaded from Base Resources Limited, the parent company, which maintains oversight of the sustainability reporting and performance metrics. Overall, while Base Resources has made progress in reducing its emissions, the absence of defined reduction initiatives or targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
