Eagle Materials's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Eagle Materials reported a carbon intensity of approximately 740.0 kg CO2e per tonne in its cement production. This figure reflects a commitment to reducing emissions within its operations, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. Historically, the company has shown a trend in carbon intensity, with values of 760.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022, 780.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2021, and 800.0 kg CO2e per tonne in 2020. This indicates a gradual improvement in emissions efficiency over recent years. Eagle Materials has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or climate pledges, which may limit its accountability in addressing climate change. The absence of detailed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data further underscores the need for enhanced transparency in its sustainability reporting. Overall, while Eagle Materials is making strides in reducing its carbon intensity, the lack of formal reduction targets and comprehensive emissions data suggests there is room for improvement in its climate commitments.
