In 2019, Stillwater Mining Company reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,000,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. Specifically, their emissions breakdown included about 54,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 197,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and around 211,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 in the US. Globally, the company emitted about 6,725,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, 689,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, and approximately 1,597,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. Despite these figures, Stillwater Mining Company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or reduction targets suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As the mining industry increasingly faces pressure to address climate change, Stillwater Mining Company will need to develop and communicate clear strategies to enhance its sustainability efforts.
