Crh's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, CRH plc reported total carbon emissions of approximately 47.1 billion kg CO2e, comprising 27.2 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2.5 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 17.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 33.5% per tonne of cementitious product by 2030, using 2021 as the baseline year. Additionally, CRH is committed to a 42% reduction in absolute gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from other activities by 2030, also from a 2021 base year. Furthermore, CRH has pledged to reduce gross Scope 3 emissions by 23.5% from purchased clinker and cement per tonne purchased over the same timeframe. The company is on track to achieve a target of 520 kg net CO2 emissions per tonne of cementitious product by 2025, down from a baseline of 777 kg CO2 per tonne in 1990. CRH's long-term goal is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, supported by a decarbonisation roadmap that includes significant milestones leading up to 2030. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect CRH's commitment to addressing climate change within the construction materials sector.
