In 2023, Centerra Gold reported total carbon emissions of approximately 107,384 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 33,790 kg CO2e for Scope 2, alongside Scope 3 emissions of about 155,200 kg CO2e. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. Over the years, Centerra Gold has demonstrated fluctuations in emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 114,524,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 101,313,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 13,210,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were about 107,542,000 kg CO2e, indicating a slight decrease in emissions over the two years. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed by Centerra Gold, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Overall, Centerra Gold's emissions data highlights the company's ongoing efforts to monitor and report its carbon emissions, although further commitments to reduction strategies would enhance its climate action profile.
