RAG's reported carbon emissions

In 2018, RAG reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 47,938,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 57,459,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This indicates a substantial environmental impact, primarily from direct operations and energy consumption. Currently, there are no disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges from RAG, which suggests a lack of formal commitments to mitigate their carbon footprint. The absence of specific initiatives or targets may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change. As RAG is headquartered in the US, it operates within a context where increasing pressure for transparency and accountability in carbon emissions is prevalent. The company may need to consider establishing clear climate commitments to align with global sustainability trends and stakeholder expectations.
