Northam Platinum Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Northam Platinum Holdings Limited

Northam Platinum Limited, headquartered in South Africa (ZA), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Northam Platinum Holdings Limited, which may influence its climate-related initiatives and reporting. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that Northam Platinum Limited is still in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. The company’s climate strategy may be informed by its parent organisation, Northam Platinum Holdings Limited, which could provide a framework for future emissions reporting and reduction targets. However, without specific data or commitments, it is challenging to assess the company's current climate impact or future goals.
