In 2023, Core Lithium Ltd reported total Scope 1 emissions of approximately 7,620,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase from 2022, where the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 193,500,000 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 2 emissions of approximately 150,700,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of about 7,620,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions included approximately 32,100,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services. In 2021, Core Lithium's emissions were also substantial, with Scope 1 emissions at about 42,700,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at approximately 39,815,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching around 14,000,000 kg CO2e, of which about 13,000,000 kg CO2e were from purchased goods and services. Despite these figures, Core Lithium has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it has yet to establish formal commitments to reduce its carbon footprint.
