Zijin Mining Group Company Limited's reported carbon emissions
Zijin Mining Group Company Limited, headquartered in China (CN), has reported its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for the years 2015 to 2021, with the most recent data available for 2021. In that year, the company recorded GHG emissions of approximately 3,000 kg CO2e per unit of revenue (USD). This figure reflects the company's operational efficiency in terms of emissions relative to its revenue generation. The company has not disclosed specific emissions data for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3, nor has it set any formal reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. There are no reported initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction at this time. Zijin Mining's emissions data from previous years shows a consistent approach to measuring GHG emissions per unit of revenue, with figures of approximately 1.358 kg CO2e per RMB10,000 of production value in 2015 and 1.456 kg CO2e per RMB10,000 in 2016. However, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments suggests that the company may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations. Overall, while Zijin Mining Group has established a framework for measuring emissions, it currently lacks comprehensive climate commitments or reduction initiatives to address its carbon footprint effectively.
