Mineral Resources has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively reporting its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. The company’s emissions data reflects its operational scale and the challenges faced in the mining sector regarding greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, Mineral Resources continues to monitor its emissions, but further commitments and strategies may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate action.
