China Nonferrous Mining's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, China Nonferrous Mining reported total carbon emissions of approximately 281,061,800 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 278,368,300 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 2,693,500 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. Over the years, emissions have shown fluctuations, with 2022 emissions recorded at approximately 266,544,700 kg CO2e, and 2021 emissions at about 207,635,200 kg CO2e. Notably, the company’s Scope 1 emissions have consistently been the largest contributor to its total emissions. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for China Nonferrous Mining. This absence of formal commitments may reflect a broader industry context where many companies are still developing their climate strategies. As the global focus on sustainability intensifies, it will be crucial for China Nonferrous Mining to establish clear reduction initiatives to align with industry standards and expectations.
