Dragon Mining's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Dragon Mining reported carbon emissions of approximately 157,200 kg CO2e, derived from Scope 1 sources, specifically from diesel (94,800 kg CO2e) and LPG heating (62,400 kg CO2e). This represents a notable increase from 2022, where emissions were about 147,400 kg CO2e, with similar sources contributing to the total. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data. Despite the increase in emissions, Dragon Mining has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a lack of formal commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. The absence of cascading data from a parent company suggests that their emissions reporting is independent. As a mining company headquartered in Australia, Dragon Mining operates within an industry that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact. The lack of established reduction initiatives may pose challenges as global standards for emissions reduction continue to evolve.
