Taking Action on Climate Change

Climate change is a key global risk that is directly influenced by human activity and requires decisive action. We have a responsibility to help address this global challenge by reducing emissions at our operations and in our value chain and by sustainably producing the metals, minerals and energy that are essential for building the technologies and infrastructure needed to transition to a low-carbon economy.

OUR NET ZEROVISION

We are focused on supplying the critical resources needed to build a low-carbon future, including rebalancing our portfolio towards copper.

OUR NET ZEROAMBITIONS

Our ambition is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 across all aspects of our business and activities.

Achieve Net-Zero

Ambition to achieve net-zero Scope 3 emissions.

Scope 1 and 2 Emissions

Operational GHG emissions, which include emissions from energy sources owned and operated by Teck and emissions related to the generation of purchased electricity used by Teck.

Scope 3 Emissions

GHG emissions from sources owned or controlled by other entities downstream of our value chain including the transportation and use of our products.

This document outlines the boundaries, calculation rationale, methodology and assumptions of Teck’s Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions inventory for the 2022 reporting year.

OUR PATHWAY TO NET ZERO

To achieve net-zero GHG emissions across our operations and throughout our supply chain, we will implement a range of abatement options including renewable energy use, electrification, carbon capture, carbon offsets, and more.

Teck is already one of the world’s lowest carbon-intensity producers of copper, zinc, steelmaking coal and energy. Learn more about our low-carbon intensity products.

Becoming Nature Positive

We are working towards becoming a Nature Positive Company and are working to achieve this through conserving or rehabilitating at least three hectares for every one hectare affected by our mining activities.

Management and Performance in Climate Change
