Mineral Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Mineral Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 376,951,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 373,461,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 3,490,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, which are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling consumed by the company. Comparatively, in 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 340,515,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 337,489,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 3,026,000 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in emissions from 2022 to 2023. Mineral Resources has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have formalised a strategy for significant emissions reduction in line with industry standards. Overall, the company continues to monitor its carbon footprint, but further commitments and initiatives may be necessary to align with global climate goals.
