Ramco Cements's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Ramco Cements reported total carbon emissions of approximately 9,980,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 740,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This marks a slight increase in emissions compared to 2023, where Scope 1 emissions were around 8,000,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 780,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has consistently disclosed emissions data for both Scope 1 and Scope 2, but does not currently report on Scope 3 emissions. Despite the increase in emissions, Ramco Cements has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The absence of Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets indicates a lack of formalised goals for emissions reduction. The company’s emissions intensity, measured in terms of physical output, was approximately 0.00059 tonnes CO2e per tonne of cement in 2024. Overall, while Ramco Cements has made strides in transparency regarding its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
