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 total of approximately 37,134,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, alongside 4,643,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2 and 25,795,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from capital goods (about 2,275,000 kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 11,339,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, NextSource Materials has not established any 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 indicates a need for further development in their climate strategy. Overall, while NextSource Materials has made strides in reporting emissions, the lack of reduction targets and significant fluctuations in emissions data highlight the importance of establishing a robust climate commitment framework moving forward.
