Crh

CRH's most recent reported emissions data is for the year 2024, with a total of approximately 47.1 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 27.2 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2.2 billion kg CO2e (location-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2024 totalled around 17.4 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for the largest portion at approximately 11.5 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, CRH reported total emissions of approximately 44.1 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 at about 28.7 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 2.2 billion kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 at approximately 13.1 billion kg CO2e.

CRH has set several significant climate commitments. The company aims to reduce gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 33.5% per tonne of cementitious product by 2030, using a 2021 base year. Additionally, CRH has a target to reduce absolute gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from other activities by 42.0% by 2030, also from a 2021 baseline. They are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

CRH's Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments are validated and include a reduction of gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 33.5% per tonne of cementitious product by 2030 (from a 2021 base year). They also commit to an absolute reduction of gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from other activities by 42.0% by 2030 (from a 2021 base year) and a reduction in gross Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased clinker and cement by 23.5% per tonne purchased over the same timeframe. The SBTi targets are considered consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
