At Teck, we believe our company and our industry have an important role to play in helping tackle the global challenge of climate change.
We recognize that human activities are contributing to climate change and we are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by improving energy efficiency, implementing low-carbon technologies and advocating for carbon pricing. That includes working to reduce our own emissions as well as advocating for policies that support the world’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
To date, we have cut our GHG emissions by over 200,000 tonnes, and our long-term target is to reduce GHGs by 450,000 tonnes by 2030. At the same time, we also know that the metals and minerals we produce are essential to building the technologies and infrastructure necessary to reduce GHGs and adapt to the effects of climate change, and that continued responsible production of these products is essential to the global effort to combat human-caused climate change.
Our strategy to contribute to global climate action, adapt to a low-carbon economy and continue to responsibly produce the materials essential for society is built around four pillars:
1. Reducing our carbon footprint
We have set long-term targets to reduce GHG emission and are working to achieve them through innovation, improved efficiency and adoption of low-carbon technologies.
2. Positioning Teck for the low-carbon economy
Our diversified mix of products and focus on efficient, low-cost operations will ensure Teck remains competitive throughout the shift to a low-carbon economy.
3. Advocating for climate action
We support action at all levels to combat climate change and are actively advocating for broad-based, effective carbon pricing.
4. Adapting to the physical impacts
We are adapting to the physical impacts of climate change and increasing the resilience of our operations by incorporating forecasted climate scenarios into project design and mine closure planning.
