Future In Action By The Numbers

Future In Action Targets

CEMEX is among the first companies in the cement industry to achieve validation by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) of our Scope 1, 2 & 3 2030 targets aligned to the 1.5ºC Scenario and our 2050 net-zero CO₂ emissions goal. Learn more about our journey to net-zero, where we started, the progress we have achieved, and how we plan to reach our ultimate goal of carbon neutrality.

Our CO₂ Footprint

Technology is the key lever for CEMEX to significantly reduce its CO₂ footprint in the long run. CEMEX is involved in new R&D products, such as our proprietary low-CO₂ clinker, and other new technologies projects on Carbon Capture to ensure we make continuos progress towards a net-zero future.

Scope 1

Covers direct emissions produced from cement and other business.

Scope 2

Covers indirect emissions from the electrity we use in our operations.

Scope 3

Includes all other indirect emissions that occur in CEMEX's value chain, like transport, supplies, and investments.

Net-zero CO₂ Emissions across CEMEX Value Chain

We are committed to reach net-zero GHG emissions, across the value chain by 2050 from a 2020 base year and to reduce gross scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 95.4% per ton of cementitious material* and gross scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services 95.9% per ton of purchased clinker and cement by 2050 from a 2020 base year. We also commits to reduce remaining scope 3 GHG emissions 90% within the same timeframe.

*The target boundary includes biogenic emissions from bioenergy feedstocks
