Cement Association of Canada

The Cement Association of Canada (CAC), headquartered in Canada, is committed to decarbonising the Canadian concrete industry. While specific, recent carbon emissions data for the CAC is not available, their climate commitments are clear.

The CAC supports a nationwide transformation of the Canadian concrete industry to achieve Net-Zero emissions by 2050, encompassing all scopes of emissions. This long-term net-zero target, which means the economy either emits no greenhouse gas emissions or offsets them, is a central pillar of their climate strategy. They recognise that reaching this goal requires decarbonisation across all stages of the value chain.

Additionally, the CAC is associated with targets to significantly reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, there is a long-term absolute reduction target to decrease Scope 3 (upstream and downstream) GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050, from a 2020 or 2023 baseline, depending on the specific target. These targets demonstrate a focus on addressing indirect emissions throughout their value chain.
