First three-year cycle of Holcim Foundation activities |
|
|
|
|
|
Streets, houses, bridges, schools – everything that is built today shapes our lives and influences our activities, the way we perceive our environment, and how we feel. Building therefore must be socially compatible, economical, aesthetic, functional and environmentally appropriate – in other words, sustainable.

Technical events on all continents
| |
Inspired by the Holcim Forum held at
the ETH Zurich, symposiums,
conferences and orientation
events on the subject of sustainable
construction were held in collaboration
with Holcim Group companies
around the world – for example for
architecture students in Budapest (1),
with Award-winner Mark West in
Montreal (2), for architects and engineers
in Córdoba, Argentina (3), at
Mapua University in Manila (4), and
at an architect gala in Casablanca (5).
Students from all regions were also
invited to the Holcim Forum to present
their theme-related boards; the best
were recognized (6) and exhibited alongside other |
projects in locations
including Cebu, Philippines (7) and
Shanghai (8).

As a provider of cement, aggregates and concrete, Holcim has little influence on what is built with these materials, yet as a globally active Group, Holcim has a responsibility for the future of our planet and our society. Holcim intends not only to be a supplier of building materials, but to promote the use of these materials in a way that is good for the world today and future generations tomorrow. That’s why Holcim established the Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction at the end of 2003 – an independent foundation that promotes sustainable construction worldwide.
