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 reduction in emissions, Base Resources has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from Base Resources Limited, the parent company, which maintains a focus on sustainability but has not publicly committed to specific climate targets. Overall, while Base Resources has made progress in reducing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
