SEMAFO Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Endeavour Mining plc

SEMAFO Inc., headquartered in Canada, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is part of a corporate family that includes Endeavour Mining plc, from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. As a merged entity, SEMAFO Inc. aligns its climate initiatives with those of Endeavour Mining plc. However, no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been documented for SEMAFO Inc. at this time. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or reporting framework. In the broader context of the mining industry, companies are increasingly focusing on reducing their carbon footprints and committing to sustainability practices. SEMAFO Inc.'s future climate commitments may evolve as it integrates more closely with Endeavour Mining's sustainability goals and practices.
