Jastrzebska Spolka Weglowa SA

Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa SA (JSW) is a major European producer of coking coal and a leading manufacturer of coke, which are essential inputs for steelmaking. The company's core business is inherently carbon-intensive. JSW has reported its organizational carbon footprint since 2017 and has adopted an Environmental Strategy aiming for a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, with a long-term goal of climate neutrality.

Despite these commitments, JSW's operational baseline remains among the highest in its sector. The company's mining activities generate significant methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, which it is required to report annually to Polish authorities. Its primary products—coal and coke—are fundamentally emission-intensive when used by customers, constituting a substantial Scope 3 footprint that is not captured by its 2030 reduction target. As a dedicated mining company in a sector critical to, but heavily exposed by, the energy transition, JSW's emissions profile is peer-leading in its intensity.
