Lundin Mining's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Lundin Mining reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 847,799,000 kg CO2e, comprising 594,304,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 253,495,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a significant commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, as they have disclosed both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Over the years, Lundin Mining has shown fluctuations in emissions, with a notable decrease in emissions intensity. For instance, in 2022, the emissions intensity was approximately 2050 kg CO2e per tonne of copper equivalent mined, down from 2480 kg CO2e in 2021. This trend indicates a focus on improving operational efficiency and reducing carbon footprints. Despite these efforts, Lundin Mining has not publicly set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of formal reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring and reporting its emissions, it may need to establish clearer commitments to align with global climate goals. Overall, Lundin Mining's emissions data reflects a commitment to sustainability, but the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
