The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor has it committed to any formal climate pledges. This lack of defined reduction strategies may reflect the broader industry context, where many mining companies are increasingly pressured to enhance their sustainability practices and reduce their carbon footprints. As Saracen continues to operate within the mining sector, it faces the challenge of balancing operational demands with the need for climate responsibility. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to develop and implement strategies aimed at reducing its overall emissions in alignment with global climate goals.
