Anglo to Detail Plan on Curbing Customers' Emissions in October

摘要

Anglo American Plc said it will flesh out details later this year on how it plans to deal with the pollution created by the mining company's customers. The world's top miners are seeking to reassure investors they can curb their environmental impact amid growing pressure from shareholders and advocacy groups. Scope 3 emissions - created when customers such as Chinese steel mills use the raw materials they mine - are among the hardest to reduce. BHP Group and Rio Tinto Group have both set goals to work with customers to reduce steelmaking carbon intensity and have said they'll tie executive bonuses to progress, though both have stopped short of binding targets. Glencore Plc is the only major miner that has said it can be carbon neutral by 2050 when Scope 3 emissions are included, as it plans to deplete is coal mines. Unlike its rivals, Glencore doesn't mine iron ore, a key material for making steel and one of the world's most polluting industries.
