In 2023, NLMK reported specific CO2 emissions of approximately 2,140 kg CO2e per tonne of steel produced, reflecting their ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the steel industry. This data is cascaded from their parent company, Public Joint Stock Company "Novolipetsk Steel," which has been instrumental in shaping NLMK's environmental strategies. Historically, NLMK's specific CO2 emissions have shown fluctuations, with values of about 1,920 kg CO2e per tonne in 2020 and 1,970 kg CO2e per tonne in 2019. These figures indicate a slight increase in emissions intensity over the years, highlighting the challenges faced in achieving significant reductions. Despite the absence of formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), NLMK is part of a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality. The company has not disclosed specific initiatives or pledges aimed at reducing emissions, which may limit its ability to align with global climate goals. Overall, while NLMK's emissions data reflects a commitment to monitoring and reporting, the lack of explicit reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate strategy and contribute more effectively to the global effort against climate change.
