Over the years, Taseko's emissions have remained consistent, with Scope 1 emissions stabilising at 131,638,000 kg CO2e since 2014, while Scope 2 emissions have also shown little variation. Despite the stable emissions figures, Taseko Mines has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company continues to operate within the mining sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact, particularly regarding carbon emissions. Taseko's emissions intensity metrics for its operations, such as the Gibraltar Mine's CO2 intensity of 2,210 kg CO2e per tonne, reflect the ongoing challenges faced by the industry in reducing its carbon footprint. As the company navigates the evolving landscape of climate commitments, its future strategies will be crucial in addressing both regulatory pressures and stakeholder expectations regarding sustainability.
