Coeur Mining's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Coeur Mining reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 299,279,000 kg CO2e, comprising 208,490,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 90,790,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions, which totalled about 423,112,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, reflecting the challenges faced in reducing carbon footprints within the mining sector. In 2022, Coeur Mining's emissions included approximately 290,111,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 combined, with Scope 1 emissions at about 205,794,000 kg CO2e. The emissions intensity for 2022 was reported at approximately 13,450 kg CO2e per tonne processed. Despite these figures, Coeur Mining has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of addressing its carbon emissions comprehensively. Overall, while Coeur Mining has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction initiatives highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
