Xstrata plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Xstrata plc reported carbon emissions related to its operations, with a carbon intensity of approximately 6,400 kg CO2e per tonne for metals smelting and about 4,700 kg CO2e per tonne for coal mining. This data indicates a reduction in carbon intensity from 2022, where emissions were approximately 7,900 kg CO2e per tonne for metals smelting and about 4,800 kg CO2e per tonne for coal mining. Historically, in 2008, Xstrata's total emissions included 15,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 24,900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 15,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Notably, the Scope 3 emissions were significantly driven by purchased goods and services, which accounted for 200,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Xstrata has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formal commitments in place to address climate change proactively.
