Lhoist Group's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Lhoist Group reported carbon emissions of approximately 798,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 activities, specifically related to the production of lime and dolomitic lime. This figure represents a slight decrease from the previous year's emissions of about 820,000 kg CO2e, also from Scope 1. The company operates within the SALT; SULPHUR; EARTHS AND STONE; PLASTERING MATERIALS, LIME AND CEMENT category. Despite these figures, Lhoist Group has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data indicates a potential area for improvement in their emissions reporting and climate strategy. Lhoist Group's headquarters is located in Belgium (BE), and while they have made strides in emissions reduction, further transparency and commitment to climate initiatives could enhance their sustainability profile.
