In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Fresnillo were 418,439 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Fresnillo's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 21.2%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Fresnillo's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 10.8%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 112,843 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 507,657 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Fresnillo's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Fresnillo's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported 149,650 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Fresnillo includes a breakdown across 2 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 4 in 2024, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported total Scope 3 emissions of 149,650 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2024), Fresnillo's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 79.46%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported emissions for 2 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
The limited disclosure restricts visibility into specific emission sources across the company's value chain.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Fresnillo's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 418,439 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 4,561 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 91.74 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 91.74 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 119, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Fresnillo ranked 9 out of 21 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Fresnillo is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Fresnillo reported a total carbon footprint of 1,075,746 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 38.24% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Fresnillo's total carbon footprint was Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 47.19% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 38.9%.a
