Dalmia Cement is among 28 companies that have agreed to set up a firm commitment to targets that are aligned with limiting global temperature rises below 1.5˚C and to reach net-zero emissions by no later than 2050.

The announcement comes in response to the call-to-action campaign ahead of the UN Climate Action Summit on 23 September 2019.

In recent days, shareholders of CRH, LafargeHolcim, HeidelbergCement and Saint-Gobain have also written letters to these cement companies to cut carbon emissions to 'net zero' by 2050.
