我们的方法确保泰克仍有竞争力throughout the shift to a low-carbon economy is focused on ensuring our operations remain efficient and low cost, and having a diversified mix of products to enable us to respond to changing demand.
Meeting Changing Demand
As the world transitions to a low carbon economy there will naturally be shifts in demand for certain commodities – demand for those required for low-carbon technologies may increase while others may decrease. At Teck, our diversified mix of products all have a role to play in the low-carbon economy of the future. This puts us in a strong position to adapt to meet changing market demand.
The minerals and metals we produce — including steelmaking coal, copper and zinc — are some of the basic building blocks of low-carbon technology and infrastructure. We are also investing in the metals needed for the transition to a low-carbon economy by significantly increasing copper production through the construction of our Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 Project in Chile. Copper is an essential material for low-carbon technology, including electric vehicles and renewable power generation.
剩下的竞争力
我们专注于继续降低成本，以确保我们的地雷保持高效和低成本。这使我们能够提高天气潜在的碳相关成本和需求转变，同时仍然存在竞争力。降低成本也在支撑Teck的碳减少。提高业务效率的措施往往导致我们采矿活动的碳强度进一步降低。
作为我们对气候行动和负责任资源开发承诺的一部分，我们将目标设为2050年所有运营和活动中的碳中性。
This objective demonstrates Teck’s support of the transition to a low-carbon economy and worldwide efforts to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature increase. It also aligns with commitments by Canada and Chile – which are home to the majority of Teck’s operations – to be carbon neutral by 2050.
We have set out an initial roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by first avoiding emissions and then eliminating or minimizing emissions. This will include looking at alternative ways of moving materials at our mines, using cleaner power sources, and implementing efficiency improvements, among other measures.
Becoming carbon neutral by 2050 builds on our work to date in reducing emissions and advocating for climate policies. Since 2011, Teck has implemented projects and initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at our operations by 411,000 tonnes.
由于我们迄今为止的工作，Teck现在是世界上最低的温室气体排放强度矿工之一。根据国际采矿和金属委员会（ICMM）的数据，与全球采矿业相比，我们的炼钢煤和铜生产等级中最低的碳强度。碳强度是在生产商品的给定单元期间产生的温室气体排放量 - 例如：每吨铜或炼钢煤产生的CO2量。
我们认为，所有经济部门必须在解决气候变化挑战方面发挥作用。这就是为什么Teck支持实施低碳技术，并倡导支持社会转型到较低碳经济的措施。
Teck is a signatory of the 2015 Paris Pledge, in support of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The Paris Agreement provides a global framework for action on climate change, and targets to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.
In 2020, we set an objective to be carbon neutral across all operations and activities by 2050. This objective demonstrates Teck’s support of the transition to a low-carbon economy and worldwide efforts to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature increase. It also aligns with commitments by Canada and Chile – which are home to the majority of Teck’s operations – to be carbon neutral by 2050.
We are also actively advocating for policies that reduce emissions, including broad implementation of carbon pricing. We believe that broad-based pricing of carbon is one of the most effective ways to incentivize real reductions in GHG emissions by ensuring that all emitters contribute to the solution.
作为这一倡导的一部分，Teck是加入碳定价领导联盟的第一家加拿大资源公司，致力于将碳定价纳入全球经济的国家和分区各国政府，企业和组织的伙伴关系。我们也是清洁资本主义委员会的成员。
Our primary focus is on taking action now to limit climate change by reducing emissions and advocating for climate action strategies; however, we recognize that ongoing changes to climate could pose a potential physical risk to our mining operations and related infrastructure, such as transportation systems.
这些风险可能是升高的温度，降水变化，淡水水平的变化或极端事件的增加，如干旱，洪水或风暴。
作为回应，我们将一系列气候参数纳入我们的项目设计和持续的矿山规划过程 - 包括关闭和填海计划 - 以确保我们的网站随着气候变化而保持有弹性。
