In 2024, Orient Cement reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 3,639,069,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 16,672,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 641,616,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2023, where emissions were about 3,485,763,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 34,626,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 54,287,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The company has consistently disclosed emissions across all three scopes, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity reported at approximately 594,000 kg CO2e per metric ton of cementitious material in 2024. In 2023, this intensity was slightly higher at about 601,000 kg CO2e per metric ton. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Orient Cement has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Overall, while Orient Cement has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, the lack of defined reduction goals suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
