Embodied Carbon

We are Driving Down Embodied Carbon in our Products

The materials and construction of buildings is currently responsible for 11% of all global energy related carbon emissions. With global floorspace rising rapidly, action is needed now.

As building regulations improve to drive more energy-efficiency in buildings and as more of the world’s energy sources move over to renewable energy, the carbon linked to materials and construction will become the major part of the building’s footprint. We’re working hard to reduce the embodied carbon in our products.

Measurable Targets

Through Planet Passionate and Science Based Targets, we have committed to ambitious carbon reductions in our business and value chain.

One of our 12 Planet Passionate targets is to achieve, by 2030, a 50% reduction in the embodied carbon intensity of our primary raw materials.
