In 2023, Core Lithium Ltd reported total carbon emissions of approximately 27,500,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 8,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 3,500,000 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 16,000,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 25,620,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 7,620,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 3,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 15,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these emissions figures, Core Lithium Ltd has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The company has disclosed emissions data for all three scopes, demonstrating transparency in its reporting practices. However, there are currently no initiatives linked to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate commitments. Overall, while Core Lithium Ltd has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate accountability.
