The company aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG intensity by 30% across its operations by 2030, using 2022 as a baseline. Additionally, Livent is working towards a 35% reduction in absolute GHG emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2030, with 2021 as the base year. They also carried over legacy goals from FMC to reduce GHG emissions intensity by 20% by 2025, compared to 2013 baselines. For 2022, Livent's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 103.5 million kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions, on a market-based basis, were approximately 11.8 million kg CO2e, and on a location-based basis, were approximately 14.3 million kg CO2e. Significant contributions to their Scope 3 emissions in 2022 included purchased goods and services (approximately 148.8 million kg CO2e) and fuel and energy-related activities (approximately 66.5 million kg CO2e), along with upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 32.9 million kg CO2e). While Livent operates as a subsidiary, its emissions data is reported directly. It's worth noting that Livent's climate initiatives are also referenced in relation to Rio Tinto Group for CDP and CA100 reporting.
