Mcewen Mining's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Mcewen Mining reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,973,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,050,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,923,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a reduction from 2020, when the company emitted about 4,582,300 kg CO2e, with 2,555,860 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,996,930 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these figures, Mcewen Mining has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Overall, while Mcewen Mining has made strides in reducing emissions over the past few years, further transparency regarding their climate commitments and future reduction targets would be beneficial for stakeholders and the environment.
