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 the cement industry, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. Over the years, 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, although no absolute emissions data or specific reduction targets have been provided. Eagle Materials operates primarily in the cement sector, which is known for its significant carbon emissions, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 categories. However, the company has not publicly committed to any science-based targets or specific climate pledges, leaving its overall climate strategy somewhat unclear. As the company continues to navigate the challenges of climate commitments, its focus on reducing carbon intensity in production is a step towards addressing the broader environmental impact of the cement industry.
