PanAust's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, PanAust reported total carbon emissions of approximately 198,839,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 39,025,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 169,176,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a notable commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting across all three scopes. Over the years, PanAust has demonstrated a trend of fluctuating emissions. For instance, in 2021, their emissions were about 172,278,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 31,376,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 138,187,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). This indicates a reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 2020, where they reported 203,224,000 kg CO2e and 41,094,000 kg CO2e, respectively. Despite these figures, PanAust has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to significant reductions in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, PanAust's emissions data highlights their ongoing efforts to track and report carbon emissions, but further clarity on reduction strategies would enhance their climate commitment profile.
