Vision and strategy
Holcim sustainable development vision

Our vision is to provide foundations for society’s future. We aspire to be the world’s most respected and attractive company in our industry, creating value for all our stakeholders. Placing sustainable development (SD) at the core of our business strategy aims to enhance this value, safeguards our reputation and contributes to continued success.

Group strategy and our approach to value creation (see graphic below) integrates economic, environmental and social impacts – the three elements of the "triple bottom line". To achieve our business goals and maintain our license to operate, we have established ambitious Group-wide SD targets.

Creating value is Holcim's paramount objective, an objective that is based on three strategic pillars and determines guidelines in the functional sectors. The most important foundation on which everything rests is a workforce that gives its best on a daily basis.

"Holcim is a progressive company with a great story to tell. The data demonstrates that Holcim is making a difference where it matters, on absolute and specific CO2 emissions, and the clinker factor. But it could take a more visible seat at the table in the debate on climate change, on the global stage and at a regional level."
