PanAust's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, PanAust reported total carbon emissions of approximately 172,278,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 31,376,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions for that year. Over the years, PanAust's emissions have shown fluctuations, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at about 221,053,000 kg CO2e in 2017 and gradually decreasing to 172,278,000 kg CO2e by 2021. Despite these figures, PanAust has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further clarity on their long-term climate strategy. The company operates within the mining sector, which is under increasing pressure to address carbon emissions and implement sustainable practices. Overall, while PanAust has made strides in reducing its emissions, the lack of formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in their environmental strategy.
