Imerys unveils an ambitious Climate Transition Plan

Imerys announces today the publication of its comprehensive Climate Transition Plan, approved by the Board of Directors, marking a significant step towards environmental sustainability, and demonstrating its engagement to combat climate change. Imerys Climate Transition Plan lays out a clear implementation roadmap showing how climate considerations are integrated into its core business and how it will meet its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets, which were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) last year.

Imerys has set an absolute emissions reduction target aligned to a 1.5°C pathway, i.e. to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% (tCO₂eq) by 2030 from a 2021 base year. For scope 3, Imerys ambition is to decrease absolute GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe.

Imerys Climate Transition Plan details the levers that will be activated to achieve these targets, including improving the energy efficiency of its operations, switching from fossil fuels to natural gas and biomass, sourcing low-carbon and renewable electricity, electrifying plant equipment, reducing the process-related emissions through innovative technologies, working with its suppliers and steering its production towards a low-carbon portfolio.

Leah Wilson, Chief Sustainability Officer, said:

“At Imerys, sustainability is at the core of our values. Our validated GHG reduction targets show our dedication to environmental stewardship. With our Climate Transition Plan, we are responding to the risks and opportunities created by climate change and taking decisive action to drive meaningful change. This includes the ways in which we are decarbonizing our operations and value chain, adapting our product portfolio to support the transition to a low-carbon economy and contributing to a more sustainable future for generations to come”.
