Antofagasta scores 30/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.
That places Antofagasta joint 587th of 809 companies scored, and 2nd of 14 in Mining & Extraction.
Antofagasta has achieved 100% renewable electricity and set a 50% Scope 1+2 reduction target by 2035, but Scope 1 emissions are rising with production growth. A documented pattern of water compliance failures across multiple mines — including regulatory fines and confirmed harm to a critically endangered species — undermines operational credibility despite infrastructure investment.
