Westgold Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Westgold Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 169,439,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 106,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 57,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive disclosure of their emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact. For the previous year, 2022, the emissions were similar, with Scope 1 at about 184,993,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 remaining at 106,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 also at 57,000,000 kg CO2e. This consistency suggests that while emissions levels have not significantly decreased, Westgold is maintaining its reporting standards. Westgold Resources has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, they have reported an emissions intensity per ounce of gold produced, which was maintained at approximately 0.0564 kg CO2e/oz in FY23. This metric indicates their ongoing efforts to monitor and manage emissions relative to production output. The company’s headquarters is located in Australia (AF), and it operates within the mining sector, which is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact. As such, Westgold's commitment to reporting and monitoring emissions is crucial in the context of industry-wide climate commitments.
