In 2024, Pilbara Minerals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 180,291,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 110,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. This marks an increase from 2023, where emissions were about 150,324,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 60,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. In 2022, the company recorded emissions of around 105,942,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 58,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, indicating a trend of rising emissions over the past three years. Despite these figures, Pilbara Minerals has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor do they have any emissions data for Scope 3. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. The company operates independently, with no emissions data cascaded from a parent organisation. As a significant player in the minerals sector, Pilbara Minerals is positioned to adopt more robust climate strategies to mitigate its carbon footprint and align with global sustainability goals.
