• Reduce gross Scope 2 GHG emissions by 53.1% per tonne of cementitious material.
• Reduce all other absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42%.
• Reduce gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 32.6% per tonne purchased.

For long-term targets by FY2050, ACC commits to:

• Reduce gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 93.7% per tonne of cementitious product from a 2023 base year.
