Osisko's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Osisko reported total carbon emissions of approximately 28,600 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions data for that year. In 2021, Osisko's Scope 3 emissions were significant, amounting to about 31,117,000 kg CO2e, while in 2020, these emissions were approximately 32,589,000 kg CO2e. Osisko's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Osisko Mining Inc., which is part of a corporate family relationship with Gold Fields Limited. This cascading means that the climate commitments and targets may align with those set by Gold Fields Limited, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed for Osisko itself. Currently, Osisko has not established any specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that Osisko may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments.
