Dangote Cement has released its 2025 sustainability scorecard, outlining a 20% reduction in net CO2 emissions intensity and a plan to switch its Nigeria fleet trucks to compressed natural gas by 2027, with electric trucks starting in 2026. The company also aims to reach 80 million tonnes per annum capacity by 2030, including new plants in Botswana and Zimbabwe. It reported a 6.5% drop in CO2 intensity from 2021 levels and a 4% reduction in energy consumption. The company co-processed over 437,000 tonnes of waste as alternative fuel and launched a tree planting program targeting 200 hectares per country over five years. It also created 625 direct green jobs and increased social investment spending by 56%. The sustainability push is tied to Dangote Group's Vision 2030, which frames ESG as a core business strategy rather than a compliance exercise. The article includes specific numbers on fleet conversion to CNG and electric trucks, capacity targets, and CDP ratings.
