Vicat's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Vicat reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,800,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 17,800,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 3,900,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a commitment to transparency in their emissions reporting, covering all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions. Over the years, Vicat has shown fluctuations in their emissions, with a notable decrease in total emissions from about 15,583,000,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to the current figure. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their recent reports, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Vicat's emissions intensity, measured in net specific CO2 emissions per metric ton of cement equivalent, has also varied, with the latest figure at approximately 588,000 kg CO2e. This metric is crucial for assessing the company's efficiency and environmental impact in the cement industry. Overall, while Vicat has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests a need for more robust climate action strategies to align with global sustainability goals.
