CEMEX Philippines reaches milestone in CO2 reduction
April 13, 2023
Every single industry today will be
affected by the need to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions.
Taking the necessary actions that prepare ourselves and the country
for these massive shifts in how the world works will be worthwhile
investments with immeasurable returns.

The Net Zero Carbon program provides partners a roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by sharing best practices, scaling up carbon emission reduction and tracking, and providing better access to green financing, among many other capacity-building tools.OUR MISSION

NET ZERO CARBON
WHAT DOES NET ZERO
CARBON MEAN?
Net zero carbon aims to balance the global CO2 emissions and collective CO2 removal efforts over a specific period as its end goal. Like a half-filled bathtub with both an open drain and faucet—taking in as much water as it is letting out—net zero carbon does not mean zero emissions, but the removal of carbon at the same rate emissions occur.
As a key tenet of the Paris Accord, achieving net zero carbon emissions by the midpoint of the 21st century should prevent us from experiencing the worst effects of climate change.
HOW NZCA CAN HELP
The alliance is there to provide guidance and trusted partners to help your company achieve your net zero carbon goals.
CALCULATE YOUR
CARBON EMISSIONS
The first step to being a net zero carbon company is to identify and understand your organization’s climate-related impact by calculating your carbon footprint. Guided by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, our Carbon Footprint Calculator is an essential tool to get you started. Join us in championing effective net zero best practices by learning more about the foundations of GHG accounting today.
FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
NZCA is for all companies located in the Philippines.
No, the alliance is not a service provider that will implement your company’s programs. NZCA will provide guidance and trusted partners that will help you achieve your company’s net zero carbon program.
Yes, we require all members to set their target date of completion, subject to their readiness and capabilities, on or before 2050.
Currently, there is no fee to join NZCA. However, engaging with our trusted partners that can help you deliver the services and/or products that you need to achieve carbon neutrality may entail cost.
