Environmental Responsibility

Eco-efficiency is at the core of our business as we recognize that cement production requires intensive use of natural raw materials and energy. It also results in emissions to the atmosphere, the most significant being carbon dioxide. That is why we work to produce more cement while using fewer resources and producing less waste and pollution per ton of cement. We aim to continuously improve our performance and increase our understanding of the challenges we face in moving toward environmental sustainability.

Together, our policies, management systems, and external management frameworks help ensure sound governance, while also providing guidance and direction in shaping our sustainable development commitments. To support this commitment, we have developed and implemented our corporate environmental policy.
