Asia Cement Corporation sets new carbon reduction milestone with SBTi 1.5 ° C strategy leading the way

        Asia Cement Corporation has passed the strictest 1.5 ° C short-range carbon reduction target review by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), covering categories 1 to 3, becoming the fourth cement company in Asia to meet the standards, demonstrating the company's determination to extend its carbon reduction responsibility from the production end to the complete value chain.

        Asia Cement Corporation has achieved its original carbon reduction target of 2025 ahead of schedule in 2024, demonstrating its continuous improvement in action. The target set this time is based on 2021, with a commitment to reduce the greenhouse gas emission intensity of category 1 and category 2 per ton of cementitious materials by 22.9% by 2030; The category 3 greenhouse gas "absolute emissions" generated by investments at the value chain level are set to be reduced by 25%, closely linked to capital allocation and carbon reduction achievements. The target scope for this time is more clearly defined to include "land related emissions" and "removal from bioenergy raw materials", ensuring that the carbon management boundary is consistent with international standards.
