Compared to the previous year (2023), Newmont's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Newmont's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Newmont reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Newmont reported 6,613,000 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 2024 disclosure of Newmont includes a breakdown across 9 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Newmont reported total Scope 3 emissions of 6,613,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 56.49% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 43.51% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Newmont's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 15.69%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Newmont's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Newmont's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, Newmont reported emissions for 9 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Newmont's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Newmont reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 2,728,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 18,682 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 146.02 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Newmont reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 146.02 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 99.13, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Newmont ranked 13 out of 21 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Newmont is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Newmont reported a total carbon footprint of 11,452,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 8.06% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Newmont's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 57.75% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 23.82%.a
