Union Cement Holdings Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Holcim AG

Union Cement Holdings Corporation, headquartered in the Philippines, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Holcim AG, and as such, it inherits emissions data and climate commitments from its parent organisation. Union Cement Holdings Corporation is aligned with Holcim AG's sustainability initiatives, which include various climate commitments and reduction targets. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Union Cement Holdings Corporation itself have not been disclosed. The company participates in industry-standard initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from Holcim AG at a third-level relationship. While no absolute emissions figures are provided, Union Cement Holdings Corporation is expected to adhere to the climate strategies and performance metrics established by Holcim AG, which focuses on reducing carbon emissions across its operations. The lack of specific data highlights the need for further transparency in reporting emissions and climate commitments at the subsidiary level.
