Orient Cement's reported carbon emissions
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 from 3,485,763,000 kg CO2e in 2023, while Scope 2 emissions decreased from 34,626,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions also rose from 54,287,000 kg CO2e in the previous year. The company has disclosed emissions data across all three scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency. The intensity of emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined is reported at 594,000 kg CO2e per metric ton of cementitious material, while the Scope 3 emission intensity is approximately 104,400 kg CO2e per metric ton. Despite these figures, Orient Cement has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Orient Cement's emissions data indicates a substantial carbon footprint, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments.
