Significant gapsPending Review

Teck operates major mining assets with detailed emissions reporting but intensity-based targets that mask rising absolute emissions. Water pollution is systemic: selenium at 267× safe limits, $60M Fisheries Act fine, additional 2023–2024 charges. Climate advocacy undermines decarbonization; coal divestiture creates appearance of progress without operational reduction.
