Climate change
We’re prioritising the efficient use of energy, optimisation of energy sources and energy reduction projects. Additionally, managing our energy is an important element of decarbonising our operations and achieving our target of a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 on our path to net zero.
Thungela’s Net-Zero Pathway
Our strategy is to reduce our own Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the short-term through the implementation of energy efficiency, energy reduction and productivity improvement projects across our operations, the inclusion of a further 15 MW of renewable energy in addition our existing 4 MW plant, and the responsible closure of mines as they reach the end of their operational lives.
Thungela’s proactive climate risk management helps us better prepare for a range of potential operational challenges. Resilience planning considers water, severe weather, and infrastructure risks and implements measures to protect people and resources and ensure business continuity.
We improved our climate reporting to meet investor expectations and keep pace with new reporting standards.
