The emissions intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined was about 594,000 kg CO2e per metric ton of cementitious material in 2024, while the Scope 3 emission intensity was approximately 104,400 kg CO2e per metric ton. Despite these figures, Orient Cement has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Orient Cement Limited. Overall, while Orient Cement has made strides in tracking and reporting its emissions, further clarity on reduction strategies and commitments would enhance its sustainability profile.
