Collahuasi's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Collahuasi reported an emissions intensity of approximately 1240 kg CO2e per tonne of copper concentrate. This represents a decrease from 1320 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022 and 1050 kg CO2e per tonne in 2021, indicating a trend towards reduced emissions intensity over the past few years. Collahuasi's total carbon emissions data for 2018 shows a significant total of 1,793,313,000 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across Scope 1 (638,993,000 kg CO2e), Scope 2 (532,854,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (620,466,000 kg CO2e). In 2017, total emissions were higher at 2,110,587,000 kg CO2e, with similar scope distributions. Despite these figures, Collahuasi has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is making progress in reducing emissions intensity, it may not have formalised commitments to further decrease its overall carbon footprint. Overall, Collahuasi's emissions data reflects a commitment to improving operational efficiency and reducing emissions intensity, although further clarity on long-term climate commitments would enhance their sustainability profile.
