In 2023, West African Resources Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 196,500,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 127,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 150,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to previous years, where emissions were approximately 121,371,000 kg CO2e in 2022, 107,676,000 kg CO2e in 2021, and 76,461,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, with Scope 3 emissions primarily driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for about 191,099,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these figures, West African Resources Limited has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while the company has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
