Galaxy Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Galaxy Resources, headquartered in Australia, reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 27,307,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 68,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of about 27,375,900 kg CO2e. This data reflects their operational impact within Australia, where they are a current subsidiary of Arcadium Lithium plc, which cascades emissions data from a corporate family relationship. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. Additionally, there are no reported emissions for Scope 3, indicating a potential area for future focus. Galaxy Resources is part of a broader industry context where companies are increasingly expected to set ambitious climate targets and report transparently on their emissions. As of now, Galaxy Resources has not established any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges, which may limit their ability to demonstrate leadership in sustainability within the lithium sector.
