Gammon Construction

Gammon Construction, a firm in the construction work (45) industry headquartered in Hong Kong, is committed to achieving net zero carbon by 2050. While specific absolute emissions data for the most recent years is provided, the company's climate strategy is also influenced by its parent organisation, Balfour Beatty plc, from which some data and initiatives are cascaded.

For the reporting year 2024, Gammon Construction reported total emissions of approximately 183.1 million kg CO2e. This figure comprises Scope 1 emissions of about 68.3 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 18.9 million kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling about 1.58 billion kg CO2e. The largest component of their Scope 3 emissions in 2024 was purchased goods and services, amounting to approximately 1.46 billion kg CO2e.

In 2023, total emissions were approximately 200.2 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 83.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 14.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 1.9 billion kg CO2e, driven by purchased goods and services (approximately 1.75 billion kg CO2e).

Looking at previous years, Gammon Construction's total emissions were approximately 109.2 million kg CO2e in 2022, with Scope 1 at about 86.5 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 13.1 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 1.48 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were approximately 1.47 billion kg CO2e, including Scope 1 (about 80.3 million kg CO2e), Scope 2 (about 10.6 million kg CO2e), and Scope 3 (about 1.38 billion kg CO2e).

The company's emissions reporting shows a historical trend. For instance, in 2020, total emissions were approximately 65.9 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 50.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 15.2 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were reported at approximately 46.6 million kg CO2e for the same year, though specific sub-categories like purchased goods and services were not disclosed.

Gammon Construction's commitment to reducing its environmental impact is highlighted by its long-term goal to transition to net zero carbon by 2050. This ambition is part of a broader strategy that may include targets cascaded from its parent company, Balfour Beatty plc, which is involved in initiatives like RE100, CDP, and RTZ. For example, Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2019 totalled approximately 79 million kg CO2e, and in 2018, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were about 88.4 million kg CO2e. Data for 2017 and earlier years shows a continuation of reporting for Scope 1 and 2, with emissions for Scope 1 & 2 in 2016 approximately 94.8 million kg CO2e and in 2015 approximately 94 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were reported for some of these earlier years, such as approximately 66.4 million kg CO2e for waste generated in operations in 2015.
