Kinross Gold, a precious metal ores and concentrates company headquartered in CA, is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For the 2025 reporting year, the company reported a total of approximately 2.64 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at prior years, Kinross Gold's total emissions were approximately 2.81 billion kg CO2e in 2024, approximately 3.15 billion kg CO2e in 2023, and approximately 3.69 billion kg CO2e in 2022.
Kinross Gold has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, aligning with global efforts to limit climate change. In support of this long-term goal, Kinross has an objective to reduce the intensity of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, using an adjusted 2021 baseline. This target for intensity reduction covers all scopes. Further context from industry studies suggests that for the gold sector to align with a well-below 2°C scenario, emissions may need to be reduced by 80% by 2050, or 92% by or shortly after 2040 for a 1.5°C scenario.
