In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Cemex amounted to 27,900,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Cemex decreased by 5.1%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of Cemex were 26,100,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Cemex's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 31.46%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Cemex's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 4.04%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2025, Cemex reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,800,000 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2020, Cemex's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 47.06%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2024), Cemex's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) fell by 18.18% in 2025, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2025, Cemex reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2025, Cemex reported 12,400,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Cemex includes a breakdown across 12 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, Cemex reported total Scope 3 emissions of 12,400,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 74.11% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 25.89% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2020, Cemex's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 36.53%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Cemex's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Cemex's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2025, Cemex reported emissions for 12 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Cemex's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Cemex reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 26,100,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 16,132 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1,617.9 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Cemex reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1,617.9 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 3,691.08, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Cemex ranked 6 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Cemex is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Cemex reported a total carbon footprint of 40,300,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 5.84% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Cemex's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 64.76% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 3 emissions at 30.77%.a
