In 2023, Livent reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 118,600,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 97,900,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their environmental impact, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed for this year. Livent has set ambitious reduction targets, aiming to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity by 30% across its operations by 2030 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This target is part of a broader strategy initiated in 2022, which builds on legacy goals from when Livent became independent from FMC, where they aimed for a 20% reduction in GHG emissions intensity by 2025 compared to 2013 baselines. In addition, Livent has committed to an absolute reduction of GHG emissions by 35% by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. These initiatives demonstrate Livent's proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint in the lithium production industry.
