Looking back, Breedon's total emissions have fluctuated. In 2024, total emissions were about 1.55 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 923.96 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 2.48 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 789.36 million kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions were approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 981.25 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of 1.40 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 692.77 million kg CO2e.

Breedon has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved goals. The company commits to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. Near-term, Breedon aims to reduce absolute gross Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 23.3% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Specifically, within this timeframe, Breedon commits to:

• Reduce gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from cementitious product production by 18.6% per tonne.
• Reduce gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from cementitious product production by 55.3% per tonne.
• Reduce all other absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42%.
• Reduce gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 21.0% per tonne of purchased clinker and cement.

For long-term goals, Breedon commits to reducing absolute gross Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 95% by 2050 from a 2022 base year. These targets highlight Breedon's comprehensive strategy for decarbonisation within the construction industry.
