CRH commits to reduce gross scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 33.5% per tonne of cementitious product by 2030 from a 2021 base year*. CRH also commits to reduce absolute gross scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from other activities 42.0% by 2030 from a 2021 base year*. CRH further commits to reduce gross scope 3 GHG emissions 23.5% from purchased clinker and cement per tonne purchased over the same timeframe. *The target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks.

Last update for CRH Plc by zerotracker.net: Sept. 14, 2026| Planning to use external offset credits | Not Specified |
| Separate targets for emission reductions and removals | No |
| Conditions on use of offset credits | None |
| Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) | Yes (CCS-based removals e.g. BECCS, DACCS) |
Additional notes: CRH has begun the construction of a first‑of‑its‑kind commercial carbon capture and utilization (CCU) facility delivered with their partner Carbon Upcycling Technologies (CUT). CUT is leading construction of the majority of the plant using its own resources, while Ash Grove is focused on plant integration. The facility is designed to capture CO₂ from cement production and, by combining it with local industrial by‑products, produce ~27,000 tonnes of SCMs annually when operations commence in 2026. CRH recently strengthened their commitment by participating in CUT's latest investment round, following our initial investment and partnership in 2023.
