Tarmac's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from CRH plc

Tarmac, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of CRH plc, which means that any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from its parent organization. As part of its climate strategy, Tarmac aligns with the sustainability initiatives set forth by CRH plc, which includes commitments to reduce carbon emissions across its operations. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Tarmac itself have not been disclosed. Tarmac's climate commitments are likely influenced by the broader goals of CRH plc, which has established various initiatives aimed at reducing emissions in line with industry standards. These initiatives may include participation in frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are cascaded from CRH plc. In summary, while Tarmac does not currently report specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is part of a corporate family that is actively engaged in climate commitments and sustainability efforts through its parent company, CRH plc.
