Carbon Emissions (SBT)
Net Zero by 2050
In 2026, TCC Group Holdings submitted its group-wide consolidated net-zero targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for review, officially receiving approval and completing the validation process on September 4, 2026, setting net-zero targets for 2030 and 2050.
That is the path we must succeed for the 30 years to come, the path of the carbon revolution!

TCC Group Holdings set its SBT in 2020 as East Asia's first SBTi-validated cement company. In January 2025, the Cement and Environmental Protection Business (Taiwan and Mainland China sites) passed the 1.5°C validation and committed to net zero by 2050. European subsidiaries CIMPOR and OYAK Cement also completed their near-term and long-term 1.5°C targets and net-zero setting, the Charging and Storage Business (Europe) completed its near-term 1.5°C target setting.
TCC Group Holdings further submitted its group-wide consolidated net-zero targets to the SBTi for review in March 2026, officially receiving SBTi approval and completing the validation process on September 4, 2026.

SBT 1.5°C 2030 Near-Term Target (Group)
TCC Group Holdings has set 2016 as its base year for decarbonization. In the base year, Scope 1 emissions totaled 50,359,379 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e), and combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions totaled 52,689,391 tCO₂e.
Against this baseline and in line with SBTi methodology, with Scope 1 accounted for on a gross basis, TCC Group Holdings commits to reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions intensity per tonne of cementitious material by 23.9% and 64.3%, respectively, by 2030.

2050 Net-Zero Target
- TCC Group Holdings submitted its group-wide, consolidated net-zero targets for official SBTi validation in March 2026, and received SBTi approval, completing the validation process, on September 4, 2026
- Overall Net-Zero Target: TCC Group Holdings commits to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050
- Long-Term Targets: TCC Group Holdings commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90.0% by 2050 from a 2016 base year7. TCC Group Holdings also commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions 90.0% by 2050 from a 2024 base year
Note
- Targets are set via SBTi methodology as gross GHG emissions per ton of cementitious product. Scope 2 uses market-based method.
- Scope 1 & 2 targets for Cement and Environmental Protection (Asia) cover Taiwan and Mainland China plants, excluding Longshan and Liaoning plants, RMC plants, and grinding stations due to operational factors.
- 2025 Scope 3 emission boundary for Cement and Environmental Protection (Asia) covers Taiwan and Mainland China cement plants (including Longshan and Liaoning plants), RMC plants, and grinding stations; submitted for SBTi validation in March 2026.
- CIMPOR's SBT target boundary covers cement plants and grinding plants in Portugal. Its 2024 Scope 3 inventory covered Portugal cement plants, expanding in 2025 to RMC, aggregate, dry mortar, and paper bag plants. OYAK Cement's Scope 3 emissions increased as its Denizli limestone plant (commissioned in 2024) reached full operation in 2025.
- Scope 2 emissions are calculated using the market-based method.
- Driven by global energy storage expansion and evolving project configurations, Scope 3 Category 11 emissions increased in 2025. Associated emissions are primarily dictated by the technology of procured battery cells; anticipated improvements in supplier cell efficiency in the coming years will support progress toward the 2030 decarbonization target.
- The Group target boundary includes land-related emissions and removals from biogenic feedstocks.

Milestones in SBT Target Setting
- In December 2019, TCC Group Holdings submitted its commitment as the first cement company in the Greater China region to commit to carbon reduction under the SBT method, and set its First Stage Target on the SBT well-below 2°C pathway.
- In July 2020, SBTi validation was passed and carbon reduction targets were set based on SBTi science-based targets, with 2016 as the base year and 2025 as the target year, aiming to reduce Scope 1 carbon emission intensity by 11% and Scope 2 carbon emission intensity by 32% against the 2016 base year.
- In July 2024, TCC Group Holdings updated its targets with a 1.5°C pathway.
- In January 2025, official SBTi validation of the 1.5°C targets was obtained.
- In March 2026, TCC Group Holdings submitted its group-wide consolidated net-zero targets to the SBTi for review, officially receiving SBTi approval and completing the validation process on September 4, 2026.
- The Near-Term Targets of TCC Group Holdings are to achieve the 1.5°C carbon emission intensity target by 2030.
- 2050 Net-Zero Target: TCC Group Holdings commits to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.
