Karora Resources has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from their parent company, Karora Resources Inc., indicating a corporate family relationship that influences their reporting. The company has reported GHG emissions intensity metrics, with approximately 810 kg CO2e per Troy ounce of gold produced and 60 kg CO2e per tonne of ore processed in 2022. These figures provide insight into their operational efficiency in relation to emissions. Overall, while Karora Resources has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
