Lhoist Group's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Lhoist Group reported carbon emissions of approximately 798,000 kg CO2e, primarily from Scope 1 emissions related to the production of lime and dolomitic lime. This figure represents a slight decrease from 2022, where emissions were about 820,000 kg CO2e. The company operates in the SALT, SULPHUR, EARTHS AND STONE, and PLASTERING MATERIALS sectors, focusing on sustainable practices in its production processes. Despite the reported emissions, Lhoist Group has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions. As a leader in the lime and dolomite industry, Lhoist Group's commitment to sustainability is crucial in addressing climate change, and further transparency regarding its climate strategies would enhance its environmental credibility.
