Does Fortescue have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2025, Fortescue has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 3 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol. a
Fortescue's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.022 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Ore Sold/Delivered in 2021. a
As of 2025, Fortescue is lagging behind on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 27.28% of the planned reduction. a
