Embedding Climate Strategy across our Business

At Newmont, we believe climate change is one of the greatest existential threats to our industry and the world that’s solvable with bold thinking and action. Since announcing our climate change targets in 2020, we have taken bold, decisive steps to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by launching the industry’s first fully autonomous haulage fleet in Boddington and announcing a strategic alliance with Caterpillar intended to transform our operations into an integrated zero emissions mining system.

Newmont Climate Change Commitment

We are committing to industry-leading climate targets of 30% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, with an ultimate goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. In 2020, Newmont committed to investing $500 million over the next five years to support the pathways required to reach our ambitious targets.
