Drummond Ltd. has successfully completed an independent verification of its corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory for the year 2025. The process, audited by the international body BVQI (Bureau Veritas) Colombia Ltda. and formalized on May 29, 2026, confirmed a 9.4% reduction in the company’s direct emissions (Scope 1) compared to the previous year.
This assessment was conducted in accordance with the rigorous requirements of the international standard ISO 14064-3:2019, achieving a “Reasonable Assurance” level—the highest tier of technical certainty and confidence defined by this global standard. This achievement aligns with the company’s roadmap toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Among the results of the inventory, the reduction in emissions from stationary combustion stands out. This milestone is directly linked to the commissioning of the Cañahuate I Solar Park, which began supplying clean energy to mining operations. This allowed for a decrease in the use of the power generation plant at the Pribbenow mine— located within the company’s mining operations in the Cesar department—which now serves only as a backup system, thereby reducing fossil fuel consumption.
The verification process covered the period from January 1 to December 31, 2025, in accordance with the specifications of the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard. The scope included direct and indirect emissions associated with energy consumption, transportation, the supply chain, and product use, yielding the following key data:
✓ Direct emissions: These totaled 1,779,443 tCO₂e. They originate from sources under the company’s operational control, such as the combustion from the mining and railway fleets, fugitive emissions at mine faces, and on-site energy generation.
✓ Indirect emissions: The remainder of the inventory primarily consisted of processes outside the company’s operational boundaries, such as maritime transport and the use of coal by customers.
✓ Carbon removal: A total of 20,566 tons of CO₂ removed annually were quantified within carbon sink areas under the company’s jurisdiction, with a cumulative projection of 629,171 tons by the year 2050. In accordance with the standard, these removals are reported separately from the emissions inventory.
“Maintaining our Greenhouse Gas Inventory—verified for the second consecutive year at the highest level of assurance established by the standard—demonstrates that Drummond’s environmental management is grounded in reliable data and verifiable results. A 9.4% reduction in our direct emissions, alongside the certification of over 20,000 tons of carbon removals, reflects the impact of the measures we have implemented to optimize our operations. Our commitment is to ensure that every environmental advancement can be measured, demonstrated, and independently validated,” stated Juan José Durán Mejía, Environmental Management Supervisor at Drummond Ltd.
This is the third company inventory to undergo external verification—following those for the 2021 base year and the 2024 reporting period—thereby reinforcing transparency and the integration of climate change management into the company’s Environmental Management System and operational decision-making.
