• A 18.6% reduction in gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from cementitious product production per tonne by 2030.
• A 55.3% reduction in gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from cementitious product production per tonne by 2030.
• A 42% reduction in all other absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030.
• A 21.0% reduction in gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services per tonne of purchased clinker and cement by 2030.
