Holcim’s mission is to be the world's most respected and attractive company in its industry–creating value for all its stakeholders.
Therefore, Holcim recognizes that the long-term sustainability of the business depends on its decisions also meeting environmental and social performance criteria. It is a business reality that most decisions within worldwide operations touch upon the interdependent economic, environmental and social factors– the “triple bottom line” of sustainable development.
In seeking the best balance of outcomes for the business, Holcim carefully examines the costs and benefits to maintain a balance between local and global priorities. The nature of the business requires Holcim to take long-term decisions that affect all three factors.- Economically, the Group operates within an extremely capital-intensive industry.
- Environmentally, making cement requires large-scale mineral extraction operations and highly energy-intensive production plants, which may leave substantial environmental footprints.
- Socially, Holcim plants are important contributors to local economies and community well being, yet the activities also have an impact on the lives of those communities.

可持续性发展是关键
Holcim的使命是在其行业内成为世界上最受尊敬和最具吸引力的企业，为所有干系人创造价值。
因此，集团认识到业务的长期可持续发展取决于自己的决策，这些决策同样必须符合环境和社会的行为标准。实际上，我们在世界范围内的大多数经营决策都与可持续发展“三条底线”，即相互依存的经济、环境和社会要素，息息相关。
在寻找商业最佳平衡点的过程中，Holcim仔细计算成本与收益，以维护地方及全球间的利益平衡。商业的特性要求Holcim能够制订影响三个因素的长远决策：- 经济方面：Holcim集团在一个资本高度密集的行业中运作。
- 环境方面：制造水泥需要开采大量的矿石并消耗大量的能源，这些可能会影响生态环境。
- 社会方面： Holcim的工厂要对地方经济和社会的健康发展做出重要贡献，并对社区居民的生活产生影响。
