Xstrata plc's reported carbon emissions
In 2008, Xstrata plc reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 15,600,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. This figure comprises about 11,000,000,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions. Additionally, Scope 2 emissions, which account for indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling, reached approximately 24,900,000,000 kg CO2e. Furthermore, Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all other indirect emissions, were reported at about 15,600,000,000 kg CO2e, with a substantial portion attributed to purchased goods and services, amounting to approximately 200,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these high emissions figures, Xstrata plc currently does not have publicly disclosed reduction targets or climate pledges. The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Xstrata Limited, and is further influenced by initiatives from Glencore plc, which is the ultimate parent company. This corporate relationship indicates that Xstrata plc's climate commitments and performance may align with broader strategies set by Glencore plc, although specific targets or initiatives have not been detailed in the available data. Overall, Xstrata plc's emissions profile reflects the challenges faced by the mining and resources sector in managing carbon footprints, highlighting the need for robust climate strategies moving forward.
