Insights into South32's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2023, South32 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 South32 have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2023, South32 has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
South32's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2035, compared to a baseline of 20,700,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2021.
Instead of reducing operational emissions, South32 has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2021 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
