Our performance this year
In 2007, total greenhouse gas emissions (WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol scope 1 and 2) increased by 39% year-on-year to 24.1 million tonnes, primarily driven by the inclusion of data from the acquired Falconbridge operations in 2007 (excluded in 2006). On a like-for-like basis (excluding Falconbridge in both periods), emissions rose by 18% due to increased ferrochrome and coal production and the inclusion of the Tahmoor coal acquisition from November 2007, which offset lower and stable greenhouse gas emissions from the copper and zinc operations respectively.
