Insights into Cameco's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways

As of 2023, Cameco has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.

Does Cameco have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?

As of 2023, Cameco has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.

Cameco's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 515,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2015.

Cameco has already surpassed its operational emissions reduction target, with 2023 levels falling below the 2030 value, achieving its climate goal ahead of schedule.
