VRX Silica's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, VRX Silica reported total emissions of approximately 76.4 million kg CO2e, comprising 19.4 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 56.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. As of 2025, the company disclosed Scope 3 emissions of about 46,000 kg CO2e, although no data was provided for Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions during that year. Currently, VRX Silica has not established any specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of disclosed data for certain scopes indicates a need for improved transparency in their emissions reporting. As a company headquartered in Australia, VRX Silica is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and climate commitments, yet they currently lack formalised strategies to address their carbon footprint.
