In 2023, Iluka Resources, headquartered in Australia, reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 555,000,000 kg CO2e from both Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources. This includes about 452,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and around 101,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions in Australia. The company's global emissions for the same year were approximately 556,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 contributing about 454,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 about 102,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Iluka Resources has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for future reporting and improvement. The company’s commitment to addressing climate change remains unclear, as no formal reduction initiatives or climate pledges have been documented. Overall, while Iluka Resources has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action and commitment in the future.
