In 2024, National Cement, headquartered in the United Arab Emirates (AE), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 607,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 34,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to 2023, where Scope 1 emissions were about 541,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 30,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus on direct and indirect emissions from its operations. Over the past few years, National Cement's emissions have fluctuated, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at about 801,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020 and declining to 623,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021, before rising again in subsequent years. Despite these emissions figures, National Cement has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of a formal climate commitment, nor have they reported any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. Overall, while National Cement has made strides in tracking its emissions, the lack of reduction commitments highlights an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action efforts in alignment with industry standards.
