Despite these figures, Hudbay has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formal commitments in place to address them. Hudbay's operations are primarily in the mining sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact. As such, the company may need to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with industry standards and stakeholder expectations.
