Key categories contributing to Scope 3 emissions in 2026 include investments at around 75,661,000 kg CO2e, purchased goods and services at about 40,807,000 kg CO2e, and upstream transportation and distribution at approximately 13,895,000 kg CO2e.

This comprised Scope 1 emissions of about 65,861,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) of approximately 3,692,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 118,340,000 kg CO2e. For 2024, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 111,033,800 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 22,707,600 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 136,749,200 kg CO2e, though the total for this year was not provided.

Igo is committed to climate action with several reduction initiatives. The company aims to reach net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions at its Nova Operation by FY25, a target which was achieved by 30 June 2025 through emission reduction activities and the voluntary cancellation of Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). This short-term target will be maintained until the operation transitions to closure. Additionally, Igo has a long-term goal of pursuing net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its operated assets by 2035. The company has also set a long-term net-zero target across its future portfolio of managed operations by 2035, if not sooner. Decarbonisation projects at Nova have already resulted in a 22% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since the 2019 baseline. Furthermore, Igo expected to reduce its Company Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 10% from its FY20 baseline by 2022.
