Osisko's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Osisko reported a total of approximately 265,000 kg CO2e in emissions, with Scope 2 emissions accounting for about 25,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions contributing approximately 240,000 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel. This marks a significant reduction in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, which were reported at zero for 2021, 2022, and 2023. In 2022, Osisko's emissions totalled about 30,588,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at approximately 27,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at around 30,588,000 kg CO2e. The trend of reducing Scope 1 emissions continued, as they were also reported at zero in 2021 and 2022. The company has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. However, the overall decrease in emissions, particularly in Scope 1, reflects a positive trajectory towards minimising their carbon footprint. Osisko's emissions intensity per GEO has shown variability, with values of 540.0 tCO2e in 2020, 390.0 tCO2e in 2021, and 400.0 tCO2e in 2022, suggesting ongoing efforts to improve efficiency in their operations. Overall, while Osisko has made strides in reducing emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
