In 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 8,003,750,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 780,469,000 kg CO2e. The trend indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments, as there are currently no disclosed reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The company has not provided data on Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. As of now, Ramco Cements has not made any specific climate pledges or commitments to reduce emissions, highlighting an area for potential improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Ramco Cements has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests a critical opportunity for the company to enhance its climate action efforts.
