Exxaro's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Exxaro reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 36,000,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions, alongside 1,200,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 1 and 800,000,000 kg CO2e in Scope 2. The combined total for Scope 1 and 2 emissions was about 1,000,000,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Exxaro has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The company has not provided data for 2023 emissions, indicating a lack of transparency in their current climate commitments. Exxaro's carbon intensity metrics for 2022 included 500 kg CO2e per kilotonnes mined for Scope 1 and 800 kg CO2e per kilotonnes mined for Scope 2. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while Exxaro acknowledges its emissions, it may not yet have a structured plan to address them effectively. Overall, Exxaro's climate commitments remain vague, with no specific pledges or targets outlined in the available data.
