The mining sector is under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and Hochschild Mining's commitment to transparency in emissions reporting aligns with industry standards. The company continues to monitor its emissions intensity, which is reported as 0.00355 kg CO2e per thousand ounces of total silver equivalent produced in 2023. Overall, while Hochschild Mining has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of formal reduction targets indicates an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
