The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. OceanaGold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further development in their climate strategy. As a current subsidiary of OceanaGold Corporation, emissions data is cascaded from the parent organisation, which may influence their overall climate commitments and reporting practices. The company is encouraged to enhance its climate action framework to align with industry standards and expectations.
