Achieve net-zero Scope 2 emissions by 2025
Our Products and Climate Change
OUR NET ZEROVISION
We are focused on supplying the critical resources needed to build a low-carbon future, including focusing on copper growth.
OUR NET ZEROAMBITIONS
Our ambition is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 across all aspects of our business and activities.
Details on our Climate Strategy
In 2024, we released our Climate Change and Nature Report, which for the first time incorporates the recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This report details how we are integrating nature and climate considerations into our strategy as we work to build Teck into one of the world’s leading providers of responsibly produced energy transition metals.

OUR OPERATIONS
Reduce the carbon intensity of our operations by 33% by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline
Establish low-emission supply chain corridors, including support for a 40% reduction in shipping emission intensity, working with customers and transportation providers.
*Based on 2020 baseline.

Ambition to achieve net-zero Scope 3 emissions.
Rebaselining Our Goals
Following the sale of our steelmaking coal assets, we have restated the 2020 emissions baseline for our 2030 goal to reflect the appropriate scope of operations and emissions within our portfolio. This approach to rebaselining is in line with the GHG Protocol’s A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
OUR EMISSIONS REDUCTION PATHWAY
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, biofuels, carbon offsets, and more.
Potential Pathway to our 2030 Operations Goal
We are evaluating and monitoring a wide range of technologies and implementing emissions reductions solutions to reduce our future cost exposure to increasing carbon taxes and other climate-related risks. Our evaluations include technical and financial considerations and are ranked based on their marginal abatement costs. This approach facilitates the prioritization of options that are the most cost-effective, while balancing cost efficiency with commercial, technological, and execution risk.

Our GHG 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 2023 reporting year.
Our report on our 2022 emissions inventory can be found here.
Our Climate Strategy
We aim to contribute to a low-carbon future by producing essential metals and minerals, reducing our carbon footprint, advocating for climate action, and strengthening our resiliency to climate risks. Learn more about our climate strategy.
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.
