The launch of the GCCA 2050 Net Zero Roadmap was a landmark moment for the cement and concrete industry.

Forty of the world’s leading cement and concrete producers, representing 80% of global production outside of China (and some key Chinese companies), collectively announced their commitment to provide society with net zero concrete by 2050 and play a positive role in sustainable development.

This roadmap was the first net zero commitment of any of the so-called heavy industries, and sets out the detailed pathways, levers and milestones required to achieve this ambitious target. Together, the industry is committed to accelerating the shift to green concrete by cutting CO₂ emissions by a further 25% by 2030, and full decarbonisation by 2050.

Progressing towards net zero

The Cement Industry Net Zero Progress report highlights the key progress we have made across a number of areas – from emissions reductions, to innovation, policy and nature, as well as showcasing our growing collaborations with wider stakeholder organisations such as the Canadian Government, LeadIT and Mission Innovation that will be crucial to delivering net zero. Our initial progress is promising, but there is still a way to go.

The benefits of our wider collaborations are beginning to emerge, and we continue to call on all policymakers, governments and stakeholders in the built environment and beyond to support and work with us as we continue to make progress on our essential decarbonisation mission.
