For 2024, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 923.96 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of around 2.48 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 789.36 million kg CO2e. In 2023, Breedon's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 981.25 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were about 1.39 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were roughly 692.77 million kg CO2e. The total reported emissions for 2022 were approximately 2.09 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 1.75 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 73.59 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 272.25 million kg CO2e.

Breedon has set Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets, committing to a 23.3% reduction in absolute gross Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 2030, using a 2022 base year. This includes specific reductions in cementitious product production: an 18.6% reduction in gross Scope 1 GHG emissions per tonne and a 55.3% reduction in gross Scope 2 GHG emissions per tonne within the same timeframe. Additionally, the company aims to reduce all other absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, and gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 21.0% per tonne of purchased clinker and cement. For its long-term goals, Breedon commits to a 95% reduction in absolute gross Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050 from the 2022 base year.
