Oz Minerals's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Oz Minerals reported total carbon emissions of approximately 557,847,000 kg CO2e, which includes Scope 1 emissions of about 95,387,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 230,651,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 557,847,000 kg CO2e. This data highlights the company's significant carbon footprint across its operations. Over the years, Oz Minerals has made notable reductions in its emissions. For instance, in 2008, the total emissions were about 1,090,083,000 kg CO2e, which indicates a substantial decrease in emissions over the years. The company has focused on reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, which were approximately 282,954,000 kg CO2e in 2017 and reduced to about 326,038,000 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these reductions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented for Oz Minerals. The absence of formal commitments suggests that while the company is actively reducing emissions, it may not have set publicly disclosed targets aligned with industry standards such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, Oz Minerals is making progress in managing its carbon emissions, but further transparency regarding its climate commitments and future reduction targets would enhance its sustainability profile.
