SolGold plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2025, SolGold plc reported total emissions of approximately 357,000 kg CO2e, comprising 319,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 38,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from 2023, where total emissions were approximately 1,117,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 900,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 217,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a gap in their reporting.
Despite the reductions in emissions, SolGold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no documented SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets or climate pledges currently in place. The absence of a structured reduction strategy may reflect the challenges faced by the mining industry in addressing carbon emissions comprehensively.
Overall, while SolGold has made strides in reducing its direct emissions, the lack of broader climate commitments and targets suggests an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy.
