Polyus Gold International Limited's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Polyus Gold International Limited reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 1,080,803,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. The company also emitted about 550,149,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, amounted to approximately 122,798,000 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services. Despite these substantial figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing emissions. The absence of specific climate commitments or reduction strategies indicates that Polyus Gold may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate action plan. As the mining industry increasingly faces pressure to address climate change, it will be crucial for Polyus Gold to establish clear targets and initiatives to mitigate its carbon footprint and align with global sustainability goals.
