In 2024, Ramco Cements reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 9,980,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 740,000,000 kg CO2e. This reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2023, where they recorded around 8,000,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 780,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. Over the past few years, Ramco Cements has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its carbon footprint, focusing on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. However, there is currently no data available regarding Scope 3 emissions. The company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future development in their sustainability strategy. The emissions intensity per rupee of turnover adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for 2024 was approximately 2.62e-09, while the intensity in terms of physical output was about 0.00059 tonnes CO2e per tonne of cement produced. These figures suggest that Ramco Cements is actively tracking its emissions relative to its production and revenue, although further commitments to reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
