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 about 68,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2, resulting in a combined total of approximately 27,376,900 kg CO2e. This data reflects their operational impact within Australia, with no reported Scope 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, and there are no documented climate pledges. However, it is important to note that emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Arcadium Lithium plc, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences their reporting. Galaxy Resources Limited's emissions data is part of a broader industry context where companies are increasingly held accountable for their carbon footprints. As a current subsidiary of Arcadium Lithium plc, Galaxy Resources aligns with industry standards but lacks specific reduction initiatives or targets at this time.
