In 2024, Cashbuild Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,121,290 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions, specifically from mobile combustion. This represents a significant increase from the previous year, 2023, when the company emitted about 1,266,500 kg CO2e, also entirely from Scope 1 sources. Cashbuild has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data indicates a limited scope of reporting, focusing solely on direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. The company’s revenue for 2024 was approximately USD 613 million, reflecting its operational scale. Despite the lack of formal climate commitments or reduction targets, Cashbuild's emissions data highlights the need for enhanced transparency and action in addressing climate change within the construction and building materials sector.
