Climate change
The fight against climate change is a key element in our business strategy, in line with the sector's climate targets to supply society with low-carbon building materials. We promote a production model based on efficiency and the use of alternative fuels and the circular economy.
2030 goals
<460 kg
CO2 Net/t Cementitious (Scope 1)
>40%
Alternative Fuel Consumption
>65%
Electricity Consumption from Renewable Sources
<69%
Clinker/Cement
How will we get it
- Fuel efficiency and replacement of fossil fuels with alternative fuels
- Efficiency in electricity consumption and transition to renewable energy sources
- Replacement of clinker in cement through alternative cementitious products with a lower environmental footprint
- Incorporation of decarbonated materials as a source of raw materials
Energy transition
With the aim of reducing our indirect greenhouse gas emissions, we are making great efforts to provide ourselves with electricity from renewable sources. In addition to acquiring them on the market, we promote our own renewable energy generation facilities and have contracts aimed at supplying electrical energy to production facilities.
Carbon footprint
In recent decades we have reduced our CO2 emissions by replacing fossil fuels with alternatives and generating renewable energy in our plants, creating products from recycling or replacing clinkers with other materials. We have the goal of zero-emission cement in 2050.
We strengthen our climate transition plan
The Science Based Targets (SBTi) has validated our near-term reduction targets, aligned with its updated 1.5°C scientific framework
We are committed to:
– Reduce gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 20.3% per tonne of cementitious product by 2030 from a 2023 base year *
– Reduce gross Scope 3 GHG emissions 21.2% per tonne of cementitious product within the same timeframe, from purchased clinker and cement, as well as investments (Joint Ventures) **
* The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from biogenic feedstocks.
** This target covers 71% of base-year Scope 3 emissions: 37.2% of emissions from category 1 (purchased goods and services) and 99.1% of emissions from category 15 (investments).
