In 2023, Carmeuse reported total carbon emissions of approximately 11,500,000,000 kg CO2e, a decrease from about 13,500,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022. This data reflects the company's global emissions and is inherited from its parent company, Carmeuse S.A., as part of a corporate family relationship. Currently, Carmeuse has not disclosed specific targets for emissions reduction, nor does it report on Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. The absence of detailed reduction initiatives or commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a subsidiary of Carmeuse S.A., the company is positioned within an industry that is increasingly focused on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. However, without specific targets or initiatives outlined, it remains unclear how Carmeuse plans to align with broader climate commitments or industry standards.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Carmeuse is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
