The company also disclosed Scope 3 emissions of about 10,200 kg CO2e, primarily from purchased goods and services, which contributed approximately 750 kg CO2e. Comparatively, in 2022, the total emissions were about 1,113,581,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 95,953,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, with Scope 3 emissions significantly higher at around 5,692,874,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a notable increase in Scope 3 emissions, highlighting the importance of addressing upstream supply chain impacts. Antofagasta Minerals has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their ability to demonstrate a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for the company to enhance its climate strategy and align with industry standards for sustainability and emissions reduction. Overall, while the company has made strides in reporting emissions across all scopes, the lack of defined reduction targets may hinder its progress towards meaningful climate commitments.
