In 2022, Grupo Cerro reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,595,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 38,900 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 28,100 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 18,595,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This represents a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2021, where total emissions were about 27,181,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 32,800 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 3,900 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Grupo Cerro has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company has not cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are derived directly from Grupo Cerro's own assessments. Overall, while Grupo Cerro's emissions data highlights the scale of their carbon footprint, the lack of defined climate commitments suggests an opportunity for the organisation to enhance its sustainability strategy and align with industry standards for emissions reduction.
