The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated Heidelberg Materials’ long-term Net Zero commitment, confirming its alignment with the 1.5°C climate trajectory. This approval reinforces the company’s leadership in sustainable construction.
Key Climate Goals
By 2050:
- 95 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions per tonne of cementitious material.
- 90 percent reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions.
By 2030: (previously validated in 2023)
- 26.7 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions per tonne.
- 25 percent reduction in Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services.
A Pioneer in Sustainable Building
Heidelberg Materials was the first company in the cement sector to gain SBTi approval in 2019. It is committed to carbon neutrality and a circular economy, with operations in more than 50 countries, 51,000 employees, and nearly 3,000 locations.
With this validation, Heidelberg Materials continues to set the standard for climate-conscious construction, leading the way toward a net-zero future.
