decarbonizing holcim to become net-zero

At Holcim, we are taking a science-driven approach on the journey to becoming a net-zero company.

We were among the first companies worldwide to have our 2030 and 2050 CO ₂ reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We continue to lead the industry with the industry's first 1.5°C science-based framework created in partnership with the SBTi.

Approaching net-zero: our 2030 targets

In 2022, we updated our 2030 climate targets in line with the SBTi's revised 1.5°C-aligned roadmap. With these upgraded targets, we confirm our commitment to decarbonize building, leveraging the most advanced science.

Holcim commits to reduce gross scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 25% per ton of cementitious materials by 2030 from a 2018 base year.* Within this target, Holcim commits to reduce gross scope 1 GHG emissions 22.4% per ton of cementitious material and scope 2 GHG emissions 65% per ton of cementitious materials within the same timeframe.*
