Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Wienerberger has committed to significant climate action, aligning with global efforts for climate neutrality:

• Climate Neutrality by 2050: The company aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, aligning with the European Union's long-term goal and the United States' strategy. This commitment applies to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
• Medium-Term Reduction Goals:
  • A 40% reduction in specific CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline.
  • A 25% reduction in CO2e emissions (Scope 1 and 2) over the period 2020 to 2026.
  • A 10% reduction in CO2e emissions (Scope 3) over the period 2022 to 2026.
• Near-Term Targets:
  • A 15% reduction in CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2023 compared to 2020.

Wienerberger's sustainability reporting covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with specific upstream categories such as purchased goods and services, and downstream categories like transportation and distribution being key areas of focus. The company is also working towards increasing the use of renewable energy in its operations, with a target of 15% for renewable energy in own operations by 2026.
