climate action
At Holcim, we are taking a science-driven approach to becoming a net-zero company. We are leading in our industry with science-based targets and a clearly defined net-zero roadmap.
Note: All 2030 and 2050 reductions are measured against the 2020 baseline. 2020 baselines have been restated for discontinued operations and other material changes in scope.

Our SBTi targets aligned with 1.5°C
In 2025, we restated our 2030 and 2050 science-based targets following the spin-off of Holcim’s North American business as Amrize. In doing so, we aligned the base year for all targets. Overall Net-Zero Target: Holcim commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
Short-term targets: Holcim is committed to reducing gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 24.95% per ton of cementitious materials by 2030 compared to the 2020 base year. This is equivalent to a 21% reduction in absolute emissions within the same timeframe. By 2030, Holcim is also committed to reducing gross Scope 3 GHG emissions per ton of purchased clinker and cement by 25.1% compared to the 2020 base year, and to reducing gross Scope 3 emissions from investments by 25.1% per ton of cementitious materials within the same timeframe. This target covers 66.9% of base year Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services (category 1) and 99.8% of Scope 3 emissions from investments (category 15). Together, 67.2% of base year Scope 3 emissions are covered
Long-term targets: Holcim is committed to reducing gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 94.9% per ton of cementitious materials by 2050 compared to the 2020 base year. Additionally, Holcim is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, and investments by 90% within the same timeframe.
Taking a rigorous science-based approach, we are focused on delivering against our net-zero 1.5°C-aligned targets, while continuing to further our reporting transparency.
