This reflects a continued commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, with data disclosed across all three scopes. In previous years, emissions have shown fluctuations, with 2022 emissions recorded at about 3,450,416,000 kg CO2e, and 2021 emissions at approximately 4,257,615,000 kg CO2e globally. Notably, in 2021, Scope 3 emissions were significant, amounting to approximately 4,752,462,000 kg CO2e, indicating a substantial impact from the supply chain and product lifecycle. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Korea Zinc has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. This absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for further action in aligning with global climate goals. The company operates within a sector that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, highlighting the importance of setting ambitious targets to mitigate climate change effects.
