KGHM International Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from KGHM Polska Miedz S.A.

KGHM International Ltd., headquartered in Canada, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A., which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While KGHM International Ltd. has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics are cascaded from its parent company, KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. This relationship may provide insights into broader corporate sustainability strategies and commitments. KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. is known for its efforts in addressing climate change, and as a subsidiary, KGHM International Ltd. may align with these initiatives. However, without specific data or targets from KGHM International Ltd., it is challenging to provide a detailed overview of its carbon emissions and climate commitments. In summary, KGHM International Ltd. currently lacks specific emissions data and reduction targets, relying on the sustainability framework established by its parent company, KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. Further information may be available through the parent company's disclosures.
