In 2025, Mount Gibson Iron reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 2 emissions totalling approximately 893,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 50,074,000 kg CO2e. This reflects the company's ongoing challenges in managing its carbon footprint, particularly in its supply chain and operational activities. Historically, the company has seen fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2014, total emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 were approximately 135,735,000 kg CO2e, while in 2020, total emissions were about 74,983,000 kg CO2e, indicating a potential trend towards reduction in direct emissions over the years. However, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), suggests that Mount Gibson Iron may need to enhance its climate strategy to effectively address its carbon emissions. The company has not disclosed any formal climate pledges or reduction initiatives, which may limit its ability to demonstrate leadership in sustainability within the iron ore industry. As it continues to navigate its emissions profile, a more robust commitment to reducing its carbon footprint could be beneficial for both environmental impact and corporate reputation.
