Northern Star

Northern Star, an Australian company in the precious metal ores and concentrates industry, reported total emissions of approximately 2.46 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This included about 836.89 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 467.88 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1.16 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

Looking back, their total emissions were approximately 1.91 billion kg CO2e in 2024, comprising around 792.40 million kg CO2e (Scope 1), 447.92 million kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 667.31 million kg CO2e (Scope 3). In 2023, total emissions stood at roughly 1.84 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 793.20 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 413.08 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 632.43 million kg CO2e. For 2022, Northern Star's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 677.23 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were around 486.41 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were about 378.20 million kg CO2e.

Northern Star has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 35% by 2030, using a 2020 baseline. This translates to a reduction from approximately 931 million kg CO2e to about 605 million kg CO2e. The company also aims for net-zero operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2050. They are focused on transitioning to clean energy sources like solar, wind, and battery electric storage systems to achieve these targets. Northern Star reported that they met their FY22 key performance indicator of demonstrating tangible Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emission reductions of 100,000 tonnes CO2e between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2025.
