In 2021 Hudbay initiated a road map to further identify and manage risks associated with climate change and opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with global decarbonization goals.

President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Kukielski says their greenhouse gas reduction targets were developed following a thorough review of their existing emissions and evaluation of reduction opportunities that are achievable without compromising the long term economics of their operations and projects.  He notes they are proud to be able to align with global goals of a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 and a commitment to net zero by 2050.  He adds they are producing metals the world needs to transition to a low carbon future and will continue to do so while contributing to sustainable development everywhere they operate.

Hudbay also plans to assess acquisitions and new projects against corporate emission targets, continue to be transparent with greenhouse gas performance data disclosure and evaluating new technologies as they become commercially available and economically viable.
