Horizonte Minerals's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Horizonte Minerals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 100.3 million kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 4.5 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 910 kg CO2e. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 3 emissions, indicating a gap in their emissions reporting. Despite the significant total emissions, Horizonte Minerals has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This lack of formal climate pledges suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Horizonte Minerals is independently reporting its emissions. As the company continues to develop its sustainability practices, addressing the gaps in emissions reporting and setting clear reduction targets will be crucial for its climate commitments moving forward.
