Breedon

Breedon, a UK-based construction materials company, is dedicated to reducing its carbon emissions. In 2025, the company reported total emissions of approximately 1.58 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of around 606.36 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of about 7.43 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 908.99 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, Breedon's total emissions were approximately 1.55 billion kg CO2e in 2024, and about 1.62 billion kg CO2e in 2023.

Breedon has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

Near-term targets include:

• A 23.3% absolute gross reduction in Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 2030, using a 2022 baseline.
• An 18.6% intensity reduction in gross Scope 1 GHG emissions from cementitious product production per tonne by 2030, also from a 2022 baseline.
• A 55.3% intensity reduction in gross Scope 2 GHG emissions from cementitious product production per tonne by 2030, with a 2022 baseline.
• A 42% absolute reduction in all other Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, from a 2022 baseline.
• A 21% intensity reduction in gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services per tonne of purchased clinker and cement by 2030, from a 2022 baseline.

For the long term, Breedon commits to reducing absolute gross Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions by 95% by 2050, against a 2022 baseline. These targets demonstrate Breedon's dedication to a low-carbon future within the construction industry.
