Pilbara Minerals's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Pilbara Minerals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 149,817,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 150,324,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 60,000 kg CO2e. This marked an increase from 2022, when total emissions were about 106,000,000 kg CO2e, primarily driven by a rise in operational activities. For 2024, preliminary data indicates a further increase in Scope 1 emissions to approximately 180,291,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions are projected to rise to about 110,000 kg CO2e. This upward trend highlights the ongoing challenges in managing carbon outputs amidst expanding operations. Despite these increases, Pilbara Minerals has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate commitments suggests a need for enhanced strategies to address their emissions, particularly in the context of the growing global emphasis on sustainability and climate action within the mining sector.
