Cashbuild Limited's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Cashbuild Limited reported carbon emissions of approximately 2,121,290 kg CO2e, a significant increase from 1,266,500 kg CO2e in 2023 and 404,910 kg CO2e in 2022. All reported emissions fall under Scope 1, which includes direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Despite the rising emissions, Cashbuild has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating their carbon footprint. The absence of climate pledges or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) indicates a lack of formalised strategies for emissions reduction. As a leading player in the building materials retail sector in South Africa, Cashbuild's emissions profile reflects the broader industry context, where many companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon management. However, without clear commitments or targets, Cashbuild's approach to climate action remains unclear.
