Perseus Mining's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Perseus Mining reported total carbon emissions of approximately 275,082,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 204,198,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 70,884,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 469,510,000 kg CO2e. This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which encompasses indirect emissions from purchased goods and services. In 2022, the company recorded total emissions of about 272,834,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 186,110,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 86,724,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 472,742,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a growing carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which are critical for understanding the full impact of their operations. Perseus Mining has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon emissions. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments within the industry context, where many mining companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets to mitigate climate change impacts. Overall, while Perseus Mining's emissions data reflects substantial figures, the lack of clear reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their sustainability efforts.
