BAM’s revised targets, unveiled in early 2023, also set a more ambitious goal for scope 3 emissions, increasing the reduction target from 20% to 50% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline.

Addressing these emissions, which include indirect activities both upstream and downstream of the company’s operations, is a significant challenge but is also seen as a crucial opportunity to promote sustainability within the construction sector, stated the company.

The company has already achieved a 56% reduction in scope 1 and 2 CO₂ intensity since 2015, surpassing its previous 2023 targets.

This was facilitated by a 22% decrease in absolute emissions between 2022 and 2023, with initiatives such as the use of biofuels, fleet electrification, and energy efficiency improvements.
