In 2023, well over half of the direct and indirect CO2 emissions of Heidelberg Materials globally were generated by its cement business line. Its activities related to the production of cement generated approximately 61 million tons of CO2 directly, and 4.4 million tons indirectly. The CO2 emissions of Holcim, a Swiss company that is one of Heidelberg Material's main competitors, generated 127 million metric tons of CO2.
