The company’s emissions intensity for 2023 was reported at 640.1 kg CO2e per tonne of product, reflecting the ongoing challenge of balancing production with sustainability. Overall, while Minasligas S.A. has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
