Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 86,344,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 75,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a significant reduction from 2020, where emissions were approximately 180,037,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 62,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2 in Australia. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data. Despite these reductions, Saracen has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The emissions data is cascaded from Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited, which is the source organization for all reported figures. Overall, while Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited has made strides in reducing its carbon footprint, the lack of formal climate commitments or reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further engagement in climate action within the mining industry.
