Heidelberg Materials' 2050 Goals Verified by SBTi
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Heidelberg Materials’ 2050 carbon reduction targets as consistent with the SBTi corporate net zero standard and in line with a 1.5°C trajectory.
Following a thorough validation procedure, the cement, aggregates, and ready-mixed concrete company’s long-term target was successfully assessed against the SBTi’s strict criteria.
Heidelberg Materials has committed to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050. The company has also committed to reduce gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 95% per ton of cementitious material by 2050 from a 2020 base year and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe, according to a statement.
At the beginning of 2023, SBTi had already validated the near-term reduction targets of Heidelberg Materials for 2030: a commitment to reduce gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 26.7% per ton of cementitious material by 2030 from a 2020 base year and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services 25% within the same timeframe.
In 2019, Heidelberg Materials was the first company in the cement sector to have its targets endorsed by the SBTi.
