OceanaGold, headquartered in New Zealand, reported its carbon emissions data for the year 2022, with total emissions amounting to approximately 376,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2, but no data is available for Scope 3 emissions.

Despite the fluctuations in emissions, OceanaGold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their sustainability strategy. The company operates within the mining sector, which is under increasing pressure to enhance transparency and accountability regarding carbon emissions and climate impact. Overall, while OceanaGold has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction goals indicates an opportunity for improvement in its climate commitments.
