As of 2025, Holcim has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.ab
As of 2025, Holcim has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
Holcim's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 94.9% by 2050, compared to a baseline of 0.643 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Cementitious Material Produced/Manufactured in 2020.a
As of 2025, Holcim is lagging behind on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 10.16% of the planned reduction.a
As of 2025, Holcim has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.ab
Holcim's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 25.1% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0.687 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Metric Tonne (mt) of Cementitious Material Produced/Manufactured in 2020.ab
As of 2025, Holcim is lagging behind on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 15.06% of the planned reduction.ab
