Nyrstar NV's reported carbon emissions
In 2017, Nyrstar NV reported carbon emissions of approximately 29,803,000 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 1 emissions. This marked a decrease from previous years, with emissions of about 27,948,000 kg CO2e in 2016, 42,428,000 kg CO2e in 2015, and 38,568,000 kg CO2e in 2014. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions, indicating a focus solely on direct emissions from its operations. Despite the reductions observed over the years, Nyrstar NV has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its long-term climate strategy. The absence of formal commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is reducing its emissions, it may not have a structured plan in place to achieve further significant reductions in the future. Overall, Nyrstar NV's emissions data reflects a trend of decreasing Scope 1 emissions, but the lack of comprehensive climate commitments raises questions about its future sustainability efforts.
