Breedon's reported carbon emissions

Breedon Group, a construction materials company based in Great Britain, has set ambitious climate targets. The company is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions across its value chain by 2050. This overarching goal is supported by near-term targets, including a 23.3% reduction in absolute gross Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 2030, using a 2022 baseline. Specific near-term targets include an 18.6% reduction in gross Scope 1 GHG emissions per tonne from cementitious product production and a 55.3% reduction in gross Scope 2 GHG emissions per tonne from cementitious product production, both by 2030. Additionally, Breedon aims to reduce all other absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, and Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 21.0% per tonne of purchased clinker and cement by the same year. For the long term, Breedon is working towards a 95% reduction in absolute gross Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 2050, against the 2022 baseline. The company's most recent reported emissions data for 2025 show a total of approximately 1.51 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.49 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 70.6 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 909 million kg CO2e. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 1.55 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 at approximately 924 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 2.5 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 789 million kg CO2e. Prior to this, in 2023, total emissions stood at approximately 1.62 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 981 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 1.4 million kg CO2e (market-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 693 million kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 2.09 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 1.75 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 73.6 million kg CO2e. Emissions for 2021 were approximately 1.83 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 at approximately 730 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 86.5 million kg CO2e. Total emissions in 2020 were approximately 1.48 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 566.6 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 79.6 million kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 647.6 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 95.4 million kg CO2e.
