In 2024, National Cement reported total carbon emissions of approximately 607,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 34,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. This marks a notable increase from 2023, where emissions were approximately 541,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 30,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, indicating a focus primarily on direct and indirect emissions from their operations. Over the past few years, National Cement's emissions have fluctuated, with 2021 showing approximately 623,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 41,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, while 2020 recorded the highest emissions at around 801,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and about 48,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Despite these figures, National Cement has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit their ability to demonstrate a commitment to long-term sustainability. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests that the company is still in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
