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 marks a significant increase from the previous year, 2023, when the company recorded total emissions of about 1,266,500 kg CO2e, also entirely from Scope 1 sources. Cashbuild has not disclosed any Scope 2 or Scope 3 emissions data, nor have they set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may not currently be engaged in formal climate pledges or initiatives such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while Cashbuild Limited has made strides in reporting its emissions, the lack of reduction commitments and the increase in emissions from 2023 to 2024 highlight an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
