Horizonte Minerals's reported carbon emissions

This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 4,488,950 kg CO2e and minimal Scope 2 emissions of 910 kg CO2e. The significant increase in emissions from the previous year, where total emissions were reported at about 29,000 kg CO2e, highlights the company's expanding operations. Currently, Horizonte Minerals has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data suggests a limited focus on indirect emissions associated with their value chain. As the company continues to grow, it will be essential for Horizonte Minerals to establish clear climate commitments and reduction strategies to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
