We recognise that climate change is one of the greatest challenges currently facing humanity and we are committed to achieving net zero by 2050.
SBTi has verified our near-term target to reduce absolute gross scope 1, 2 GHG emissions, and scope 3 emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 23.3% by 2030, from a 2022 base year.
Beyond 2030, the SBTi has verified our target to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050, and to reduce absolute gross scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by 95% by 2050, from a 2022 base year.
Of our Group-wide carbon emissions, the principal contributor of CO2 is our cement business.
The most significant proportion of CO2 originates from process emissions, which by its chemical nature, is difficult to decarbonise.
We have already made great improvements at our Hope cement plant, having effectively reduced emissions by 1/3 for each tonne of cementitious product since their 1990 baseline.
