In 2021, Hanson Limited reported significant carbon emissions associated with its operations, with Scope 1 emissions amounting to approximately 46,950 kg CO2e per tonne and Scope 2 emissions at about 140 kg CO2e per tonne of cementitious material. The combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions reached approximately 54,230 kg CO2e per tonne of cementitious material produced. Despite these figures, there are currently no publicly disclosed reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Hanson Limited. The company has not outlined any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal reduction commitments. This lack of defined targets may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing carbon emissions, particularly in the cement sector, which is known for its high carbon footprint. Hanson Limited's emissions data highlights the need for ongoing efforts to improve sustainability practices and reduce carbon impacts in line with global climate goals.
