Hochschild Mining

Hochschild Mining, a company in the chemical and fertilizer minerals, salt, and other mining and quarrying products sector headquartered in Great Britain, has established ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and has a near-term target to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030, using its 2021 baseline.

In 2025, Hochschild Mining reported approximately 35,938,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions and approximately 101,683,000 kg CO2e for combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions, with Scope 3 being the only disclosed scope for this period.

For 2024, total Scope 3 emissions were approximately 29,461,000 kg CO2e, and combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 87,910,000 kg CO2e.

In 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 42,400,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) emissions of approximately 64,602,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 26,016,000 kg CO2e. This resulted in combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions of approximately 107,002,000 kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, Scope 1 and 2 emissions (location-based) were approximately 113,490,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 104,472,000 kg CO2e in 2021, with Scope 3 emissions reported at approximately 29,734,000 kg CO2e and 24,821,000 kg CO2e respectively for these years.

The company's 2025 Sustainability Report and 2024 Sustainability Report provide details on emissions intensity, with 2023 reporting an emissions intensity of 3520.0 tonnes CO2e per thousand ounces of silver equivalent produced. The TCFD Report 2024 indicates that Scope 3 emissions constituted 24% of total emissions in 2024, with Category 4 being the largest contributor. Hochschild Mining is committed to achieving net-zero across both its operations (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain (Scope 3).
