Corporate governance - SD |
|
|
|
|
|
We have improved our internal control mechanisms over the past few years to manage the increasing
requirements of corporate governance, including, for example, the separation of the functions of chairman
of the Board of Directors and CEO and the introduction of a standard registered share.

Code of Conduct
In 2004 the Holcim Code of Conduct was published as an integral part of our mission statement. It establishes a common framework and direction for the conduct of daily business. Covering all aspects of our operations – from fair competition, bribery and corruption, to gifts, donations and conflicts of interest – the code applies to all Group employees, contractors, and operations where Holcim exercises management control. Its message is clear: violations will not be tolerated. Non-compliance may lead to disciplinary sanctions, including termination of employment.

Organizational strength
Our reputation as an industry leader in sustainability is based on compliance with internal and external standards as well as a commitment to deliver on targets.
Our SD organization is streamlined at Group level. Functional responsibility for sustainable development is united under Executive Committee member Benoît-H. Koch, covering Corporate Industrial Ecology, Corporate Environmental Relations, and CSR/SD Coordination. To reinforce compliance, OH&S reports directly to Executive Committee member Thomas Knöpfel.
An SD Steering Committee as a subcommittee of the Executive Committee (including CEO Markus Akermann, Executive Committee members, Benoît-H. Koch and Thomas Knöpfel, and respective functional heads) supports executive and Board decision-making processes. Its task is to ensure continued alignment and oversight of our SD approaches and to effectively manage the overlaps among functional responsibilities.
