De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from De Beers SA

De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of De Beers SA, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its climate strategy, De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited inherits emissions data and reduction initiatives from its parent company, Anglo American plc, at a cascade level of 2. This relationship may provide insights into broader corporate sustainability efforts, although specific emissions figures for De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited are not disclosed. The company has not outlined any specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, it is important to note that the overarching corporate family, including Anglo American plc, is actively engaged in climate initiatives, which may indirectly impact De Beers' sustainability practices. In summary, while De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited lacks specific emissions data and defined reduction targets, its affiliation with De Beers SA and Anglo American plc suggests a potential alignment with industry-standard climate commitments.
