ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
As a global mining and metals company, we have an important role to play in responding to the risks and opportunities of climate change: to produce commodities critical for the transition to a low-carbon world1; and do so in a way that seeks to contribute value to society and minimise environmental impact.
We support the objectives of the Paris Agreement and have set a target2 to halve our operational GHG emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 2035 from our FY21 baseline. We also have a long term goal3 to achieve net zero GHG emissions across all scopes (i.e. Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2050.
