Yamana Gold Inc.'s reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Yamana Gold Inc., headquartered in Canada, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 180,129,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This figure represents the direct greenhouse gas emissions from the company's operations. The company has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data for the reported year. Yamana Gold has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor does it appear to have cascaded any targets from parent or related organisations. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. The reported emissions intensity for 2020 was about 290 kg CO2e per ounce of gold produced, indicating a focus on measuring and potentially improving operational efficiency in relation to emissions. However, without specific reduction targets or commitments, the company's long-term climate strategy remains unclear. Overall, while Yamana Gold has provided emissions data for 2020, further transparency regarding its climate commitments and future reduction strategies would be beneficial for stakeholders and the broader industry context.
