Sphere Minerals Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Glencore plc

Sphere Minerals Limited, headquartered in Australia, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Glencore plc, which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family relationship with Glencore plc, Sphere Minerals Limited may inherit climate initiatives and performance metrics from its parent company. However, specific reduction targets or achievements related to carbon emissions have not been disclosed for Sphere Minerals Limited itself. The absence of documented reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that Sphere Minerals Limited may still be in the process of establishing its own climate strategy or aligning with broader corporate sustainability goals set by Glencore plc. In summary, while Sphere Minerals Limited does not currently provide emissions data or specific climate commitments, its affiliation with Glencore plc may play a role in shaping its future environmental strategies.
