Tarmac Holdings Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from CRH plc

Tarmac Holdings Limited, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as no emissions figures are available. The company is a current subsidiary of CRH plc, which means that any relevant emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from its parent organization. Tarmac's climate commitments are aligned with initiatives from CRH plc, which has set ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions across its operations. These targets are cascaded down to Tarmac, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and climate action within the construction materials sector.

As part of its corporate family relationship with CRH plc, Tarmac is involved in various climate initiatives, including those under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
