The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved CIMPOR's short-term decarbonisation and net-zero emissions targets. This validation represents a significant milestone in CIMPOR's commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change.
SBTi is an internationally recognised initiative resulting from the collaboration between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World-Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Established in 2015, SBTi aims to help companies set emission reduction targets aligned with climate science and the goals of the Paris Agreement. Currently, around 5000 companies and financial institutions worldwide are part of this initiative, demonstrating their trust in climate science.
SBTi confirmed that CIMPOR's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets meet the rigorous criteria outlined in the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Additionally, SBTi classified CIMPOR's ambition for Scope 1 and 2 targets as being aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory, the most ambitious limit set by the Paris Agreement.
CIMPOR's Commitments
Global Net-Zero Emissions Target: CIMPOR is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.
Short-Term Targets:
CIMPOR is committed to reducing:
- Scope 1 gross emissions by 19.5% per t of cementitious product by 2030, using 2022 as the base year (*);
- Scope 2 gross emissions by 55.7% per t of cementitious product over the same period;
- Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 29.4% per t of clinker and cement purchased during the same timeframe.
(*) The target boundary includes emissions and removals associated with land use and biomass.
Long-Term Targets:
CIMPOR is committed to reducing:
- Scope 1 and 2 gross emissions by 95.2% per t of cementitious product by 2050, using 2022 as the base year (*);
- Scope 3 absolute GHG emissions by 95% over the same period.
(*) The target boundary includes emissions and removals associated with land use and biomass.
The validation of these targets by SBTi reinforces CIMPOR's commitment to leading the transition to a more sustainable future and positions CIMPOR as an example in the cement sector and the global industry. This achievement demonstrates CIMPOR's ambition to align its operations with the principles of climate science, contributing to climate change mitigation and the achievement of global sustainability goals.
