VRX Silica's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, VRX Silica reported total carbon emissions of approximately 19,444,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 46,900,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data reflects a consistent emission pattern, as the same figures were reported for 2023. In 2021, the company recorded similar Scope 1 emissions of 19,444,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were higher at approximately 56,708,000 kg CO2e. Currently, VRX Silica has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of significant climate commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, ensuring that the figures are solely representative of VRX Silica's operations. As the company continues to operate in the silica industry, addressing its carbon footprint will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
