Science-based targets

How they will lead us towards zero:

We want to play our part in limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Fulfilling this ambition requires a systematic and science-based approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Validation of relevant performance targets by the Science Based Targets initiative provides a clear picture on how we are progressing.

Our science-based targets will lead us towards zero

Our MissionZero programme delivers solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by the mining and industry. It guides our efforts to help keep global warming below 1.5°C. In addition, we aim to achieve zero emissions in our value chain by 2050.

Targets

Net zero

We commit to achieve Net Zero across scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050: providing a clear, long-term end state for decarbonising our full business ecosystem, including a targeted reduction of 90% in absolute emissions

Own operations

We commit to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions 80% by 2030. Additionally to our science based validated targets, we will be carbon-neutral in our own operations, using high-integrity carbon credits for any residual, hard-to-abate emissions from 2030 onwards.

Value chain

We commit to reduce absolute scope 3 emissions 30% by 2030.

Business leaders taking action

Our commitment to the Business Ambition for 1.5°C

With our science-based targets, we have committed to the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement and to what science deems necessary to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change: To limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Our value chain impact

As a leading supplier of technology and services solutions to the mining industry we have a significant opportunity to contribute to limiting climate change.

Value chain impact

Upstream

We will accelerate upstream progress through increased engagement with suppliers, maintaining our ambition to reach 30% of supplier spend with SBTis, as well as increasing the share of recycled and lower-emission materials in purchased goods.

Reducing emissions and footprint

Rapid Oxidative Leaching (ROL) can develop mineral deposits containing arsenic for recovery of copper, gold, and silver. Refractory ores are processed at low temperatures, saving energy and cutting risk of arsenic pollution.
