Achieving our target of carbon neutrality across our operations remains a complex, multi-dimensional challenge. However, we understand better than ever each of the elements required to decarbonise our operations.
We have identified the pathways to achieve carbon neutrality at our sites by 2040, and we continue to make progress on reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that result from our mining activities.
Our emissions performance
Our Scopes 1 and 2 targets:
Our pathway to carbon neutrality by 2040
Compared with 2019, when our emissions peaked, we have delivered a 31% reduction in our total Scope 1 and 2 emissions (2019: 16.8 Mt CO2e) and a 26% reduction in our emissions intensity.
Year-on-year improvements in the management of methane in our steelmaking coal business have made the largest contribution to this reduction in emissions from the 2019 peak. Completing the roll-out of renewable energy in South America in 2023 was also a significant milestone.
