Silvercorp Metals's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Silvercorp Metals reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 76,748,000 kg CO2e, comprising 1,870,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 74,878,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a slight increase from 2022, where total emissions were about 65,386,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its emissions, with a focus on both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which are primarily derived from stationary combustion and purchased electricity. Despite the increase in emissions, Silvercorp has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate pledges. Overall, Silvercorp Metals is actively engaged in emissions reporting, but further clarity on its climate commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile.
