climate action
At Holcim, we are taking a science-driven approach on the journey to becoming a net-zero company. We continue to lead our industry with science-based targets and a clearly defined net-zero roadmap.
Our climate 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.1 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.1
Holcim commits to reduce gross scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services 25.1% per ton of purchased clinker and cement by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Holcim also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel and energy related activities 20% per ton of purchased fuels by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Furthermore, Holcim commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from downstream transport and distribution 24.3% per ton of materials transported within the same timeframe.
1 The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
We will reduce scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 95% per ton of cementitious materials from a 2018 base year.1
We will reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2020 base year.2
1 The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.
2 This net-zero validation was evaluated within the parameters of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign and it covers categories 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 of Holcim's scope 3 emissions.

“At Holcim, we are committed to decarbonizing building for a net-zero future. When I see the thorough decarbonization plans we are deploying across our business, I am confident that we will decarbonize building at scale.”
