Compared to the previous year (2023), Polyus's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 2.24%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2024, Polyus reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,283 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 751,000 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Polyus's Scope 2 emissions (Location-Based) rose by 11.42% in 2024, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from purchased electricity and energya
In 2024, Polyus reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Polyus reported 1,301,000 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 Polyus 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, Polyus reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,301,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 93.47% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 6.53% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Polyus's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 16.92%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.ab
In 2024, Polyus 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 Polyus's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Polyus reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,310,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 7,343 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 178.4 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Polyus reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 178.4 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 122.58, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Polyus ranked 14 out of 22 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Polyus is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Polyus reported a total carbon footprint of 3,362,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 6.09% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Polyus's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 38.96% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 38.7%.a
