West African Resources Limited's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, West African Resources Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 168,660,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 207,946,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This follows a previous year (2023) where the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of around 129,068,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 128,540,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its emissions, although there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate strategy. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while emissions data is being tracked, formal commitments to reduce emissions have not yet been established. West African Resources Limited operates without cascaded emissions data from a parent company, indicating that all reported figures are derived directly from their own operations. The company is headquartered in Australia and is actively engaged in the mining sector, which is often scrutinised for its environmental impact. Overall, while West African Resources Limited has made strides in emissions reporting, further development of climate commitments and reduction strategies will be essential for aligning with industry standards and addressing climate change effectively.
