Sustainability Report dated 18 August 2022

Press release
18 August 2022
Argo Blockchain PLC
("Argo" or "the Company")
2021 Sustainability Report
Argo Blockchain plc, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining (LSE:
ARB; NASDAQ: ARBK), is pleased to announce the release of its 2021
Sustainability Report and that the Company is maintaining its
climate positive status. The report provides an overview of the
Company's climate-related performance since its 2020 Climate
Strategy Report was published in August 2021.
With the aim of updating Argo shareholders on the Company's
sustainability progress, this report will be published annually and
serves as further evidence of Argo's commitment to its climate
positive strategy.
The report outlines a number of significant milestones Argo has
reached in this respect, which include:
●
No Scope 1 emissions are produced as Argo does not have power
generation or vehicle fleets at our sites;
●
Most of Argo's GHG emissions would fall under Scope 2. While
the majority of Argo's power comes from clean energy, Renewable
Energy Credits (RECs) are purchased at Argo-owned or hosted
facilities for emissions created by electricity use;
and
●
Scope 3 GHG emissions primarily come from upstream emissions from
capital goods purchased, as well as fuel and energy-related
activities. Verifiable Emissions Reductions (VERs) are purchased
for all Argo activities in its value chain, and the Company will
purchase additional VERs to maintain its climate positive
status.
Looking ahead, Argo will continue to prioritize sustainability,
which is demonstrated by the Company's ongoing and planned
initiatives in energy efficiency, reducing e-waste, use of waste
heat in partnership with local municipalities, and supporting the
crypto mining industry with sustainability standards. In doing so,
Argo hopes that other players in the crypto and Bitcoin mining
space will join the mission.
"We are pleased to provide this report that highlights the progress
we've made in our commitment to sustainability and Argo's climate
strategy, and plan to maintain our climate positive status," said
Peter Wall, Chief Executive Officer of Argo. "For our team,
sustainability is integral to our business model. This report
highlights Argo's focus on improving mining efficiencies, reducing
our impact on the planet, and increasing our overall
productivity."
