Carbon History of Holcim Ltd: Carbon dioxide emissions 1950-2021

7 Jul 2022

Climate Accountability Institute (CAI) has quantified emissions of carbon dioxide attributable to the cement company Holcim Ltd., the world’s second largest by revenue, for the period from 1950 to the present. Our analysis covers emissions for its entire supply chain from quarrying (such as calcite [limestone] and aggregates) to finished product transportation. The boundary definition includes emissions from cement production (calcining emissions, fuel combustion, other scope sources, scope [chiefly purchased electricity], and indirect scope).
