Piedmont Lithium Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Sayona Mining Limited

Piedmont Lithium Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Sayona Mining Limited, which may influence its climate performance metrics. Piedmont Lithium has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specific targets suggests that the company is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As part of the broader industry context, lithium companies are increasingly under pressure to address their carbon footprints due to the growing demand for sustainable practices in the electric vehicle supply chain. While Piedmont Lithium has not yet disclosed its emissions or reduction initiatives, it is essential for the company to align with industry standards and expectations to enhance its sustainability profile.
