Trafigura published its 2022 Sustainability Report. The report outlines the company’s approach to material sustainability topics and performance in the 2022 financial year and underlines its role in supplying energy, minerals and metals required for the energy transition.
Addressing climate change is a key strategic focus for Trafigura,” said Jeremy Weir, Trafigura’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Following significant progress in reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions from Group operations by 30 percent since 2020, equivalent to reducing our direct emissions by over one million tonnes CO2e, we have revised our climate change strategy and set longer term targets
Trafigura has set out a roadmap aiming for operational carbon neutrality by 2050, including a medium-term target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by more than 50 percent over the next decade, compared to 2020.
In respect of Scope 3 emissions, the Group has set a new GHG emissions reduction target to reduce the GHG intensity of Scope 3 supply chain emissions of all non-ferrous metals sourced and supplied to customers, from extraction to processing, by 10% by FY2030 compared to a FY2020 baseline.
The new target reflects Trafigura’s ambition to work with suppliers, transport and logistics providers and customers to reduce the carbon intensity of the commodities it supplies.
Trafigura also announced its intention to invest in renewable hydrogen projects with a total production capacity of 3GW by the end of FY2030.
The Group’s approach and reporting framework are aligned with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which was created by the Financial Stability Board to develop consistent climate‑related financial risk disclosures
