Sustainability / environmental stewardship

Holcim is at the forefront of sustainable building solutions, driving the transition towards a net-zero and circular economy. Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in everything we do, from reducing our carbon footprint to pioneering innovative recycling and circular construction solutions.

 We are dedicated to decarbonising the built environment by expanding our portfolio of low-carbon materials, such as ECOPlanet cement and ECOPact concrete. We’re also advancing carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies to achieve net-zero emissions.

Through circular construction, we maximise the use of recycled materials, reducing waste and conserving natural resources. We go beyond minimising impact—we aim to restore and regenerate. Our biodiversity and nature strategy ensures that we give back more than we take, restoring ecosystems, rehabilitating quarries, and protecting vital habitats.

We are accelerating the use of alternative fuels and renewable energy to power our operations, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering emissions across our value chain.

Sustainability is not just about the environment; it’s also about people. Holcim partners with local communities to drive sustainable development, create jobs, and build resilient infrastructure that benefits future generations.

Our mission is clear: to build progress for people and the planet and make sustainable construction
