Ero Copper's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Ero Copper reported total carbon emissions of approximately 79,077,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 55,037,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 71,670,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 79,077,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, where total emissions were about 132,430,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 126,688,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 93,597,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Ero Copper has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their commitments. The company has not set any science-based targets (SBTi) or other formal reduction initiatives, which may limit their ability to effectively manage and reduce their carbon emissions in line with industry standards. Overall, while Ero Copper has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
