Heidelberg Materials Emission Goals Approved by SBTi

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Heidelberg Materials’ 2030 carbon reduction targets.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Heidelberg Materials’ 2030 carbon reduction targets.

Following a thorough validation procedure, the German building materials company’s near-term target achievement was assessed against the SBTi’s strict criteria: Heidelberg Materials commits to reduce gross scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 26.7% per ton of cementitious material by 2030 from the base year 2020.

Within this target, Heidelberg Materials commits to reduce gross scope 1 GHG emissions by 24% per ton of cementitious material and scope 2 GHG emissions by 65% per ton of cementitious material within the same timeframe. 

The company also adds a scope 3 target to reduce absolute GHG emissions from purchased goods and services1 by 25% within the same timeframe. These commitments are consistent with Heidelberg Materials’ previously communicated goal of reducing specific net CO₂ emissions to 400 kg per ton of cementitious material by 2030, equaling a reduction of 47% compared to 1990 levels. 

“Climate protection and the reduction of CO₂ emissions are the decisive tasks of our time, and energy-intensive industries have a special responsibility in this respect,” said Dr. Dominik von Achten, Chairman of the Managing Board in a statement. “At Heidelberg Materials, we are tackling these tasks at full speed and with great dedication.”
