In 2023, Discovery Silver reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,228,480 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 381,740 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 13,840 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling around 832,900 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the company's total emissions were about 1,692,770 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 411,370 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 2,600 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 1,278,790 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable reduction in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite these reductions, Discovery Silver has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at further decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of formal climate pledges or science-based targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have committed to a structured plan for future reductions. Overall, Discovery Silver's emissions data reflects a commitment to tracking and managing carbon outputs, but further clarity on long-term climate commitments would enhance their sustainability profile.
