NextSource Materials's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, NextSource Materials reported total carbon emissions of approximately 4,065,068 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. The company did not report any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions for this year. This marks a significant increase compared to 2023, where emissions were recorded at about 724 kg CO2e, also solely from Scope 1. Looking back to 2021, NextSource Materials disclosed a more comprehensive emissions profile, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 37,134,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at about 4,643,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 25,795,000 kg CO2e. This data indicates a substantial reduction in emissions from 2021 to 2023, particularly in Scope 1 emissions. Despite these figures, NextSource Materials has not established specific reduction targets or commitments, nor do they participate in initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of formal climate pledges suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, while NextSource Materials has shown a notable decrease in emissions over the past few years, the lack of defined reduction targets highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
