Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Overview

Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an
organization (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles). Scope 2 emissions are
indirect CO e emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although Scope 2
2
emissions physically occur at an offsite facility where they are generated, they are accounted for in an organization’s
GHG inventory because they are a result of the organization’s energy use. Last year we reported for the first time on
goals for reducing or offsetting our Scope 2 emissions. This is in addition to our existing Scope 1 CO e emissions
2
reduction commitments for our cement and magnesia specialties businesses. This year, we are setting forth for the first
time our ambition for the business as a whole to be Net Zero by 2050 for Scopes 1 and 2.

Martin Marietta is an aggregates company (crushed stone, sand and gravel) when viewed in terms of in terms of our
revenue and operational footprint. The vast majority of our facilities are associated with our aggregates business,
including more than 350 quarries, mines and distribution yards. Construction aggregates businesses are not large
emitters of GHGs, with the predominant source being diesel fuel used in trucks and other mobile equipment. We also
have two targeted downstream businesses: ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving services. Finally, we operate a
small, but strategic, cement business and a magnesia specialties business.

In our previous Sustainability Reports, we focused on the metric of GHG intensity per tonne of cement equivalent.
However, because cement is such a small component of our portfolio, focusing only on this metric has resulted in
incongruous comparisons relative to true cement companies.

More specifically, the following tables show that our product portfolio and our strategic cement business differs
dramatically from traditional cement companies. In fact, approximately 86% of our 2021 shipments were from
aggregates production and only 1.7% from cement.
