This represents a significant increase from previous years, with emissions in 2022 recorded at approximately 8,109,723,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 115,683,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Over the years, Ramco Cements has shown fluctuations in its emissions, with Scope 1 emissions peaking at approximately 9,985,000,000 kg CO2e in 2024. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. The emissions intensity per tonne of cement produced has varied, with reported values of 820 kg CO2e in 2020 and 760 kg CO2e in 2021, reflecting the company's ongoing efforts to manage its carbon footprint. However, without formal reduction targets, the effectiveness of these efforts remains uncertain. Overall, while Ramco Cements continues to operate within the cement industry, which is known for its high carbon emissions, the lack of clear reduction commitments may hinder its progress towards more sustainable practices.
