CIMPOR's Targets Validated by SBTi

The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved CIMPOR's short-term decarbonization and net-zero emissions targets. 

This validation represents a significant milestone in the cement company's commitment to sustainability, according to a statement.

CIMPOR's GHG emissions reduction targets meet the rigorous criteria outlined in the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Additionally, SBTi classified CIMPOR's goals for Scope 1 and 2 targets as being aligned with a 1.5°C trajectory.                                

The company is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

 For the short-term, CIMPOR is committed to reducing:

• Scope 1 gross emissions by 19.5% per ton of cementitious product by 2030, using 2022 as the base year
• Scope 2 gross emissions by 55.7% per ton of cementitious product over the same period
• Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 29.4% per ton of clinker and cement purchased during the same timeframe

 CIMPOR’s long-term targets are the following:

• Scope 1 and 2 gross emissions by 95.2% per ton of cementitious product by 2050, using 2022 as the base year
• Scope 3 absolute GHG emissions by 95% over the same period

 his 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.
