Westgold Resources's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Westgold Resources reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,366,962,000 kg CO2e, comprising 169,576,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 106,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and about 2,366,696,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has shown a slight reduction in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were approximately 184,993,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, Westgold's emissions have fluctuated, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at about 178,651,000 kg CO2e in 2021 and Scope 3 emissions reaching a high of approximately 2,246,255,000 kg CO2e in 2022. The emissions intensity per ounce of gold produced has also been reported, with a value of 660.0 kg CO2e/oz in 2023, indicating a commitment to monitoring and potentially reducing emissions per unit of production. Despite these figures, Westgold Resources has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may need to establish clearer commitments to address its carbon footprint effectively.
