Holcim is a global leader in innovative and sustainable building solutions. Our 70,000 people are passionate about building progress across our 70 markets and four business segments: Cement, Ready-Mix Concrete, Aggregates and Solutions & Products.
We are coming together under a new purpose. To make cities greener, build smarter infrastructure and improve living standards, as we work towards becoming a net zero company.
Join us in building the world you want to live in.
We provide the widest range of high-quality cements on the market to meet the most challenging needs, from sustainability requirements to specialty cements.
Our aggregates – including recycled products – provide raw materials for concrete, masonry, and asphalt, as well as for buildings, roads and landfills.
Our specialty ready-mix concrete solutions are tailored to meet our customers’ unique project needs – from design to performance – in every corner of the globe.
We listen to your specific needs and requirements to supply and develop together the best solution to match them, from precast to asphalt and advanced solutions.
We are part of the global solution when it comes to sustainable development for people and the planet, and we therefore go beyond holding a local-level social license to operate. We seek to empower people and communities through our innovative, sustainable building materials and solutions to build a better future.
We create social value linked to our business through the affordable housing and community initiatives we lead. Ultimately, we plan to make communities more liveable with our sustainable building solutions for all.

My name is Madhura Joshi and I work at the Holcim Innovation Centre where we work together to develop sustainable building solutions. I became a part of team Holcim in 2020 and I already feel that I'm a builder of progress. I feel motivated to be associated with Holcim where progress is circular in nature.
I witnessed great disparities in living conditions. It is time to actively participate in this fight against climate change and generate possibilities to provide sustainable housing and facilities to even the less fortunate.

14Trees, a Holcim joint venture with CDC Group, the UK’s publicly owned impact investor, is deploying 3D printing technology at scale to build affordable and low-carbon housing and schools in Africa, starting in Malawi. With its record speed of construction and optimised material use, this technology reduces the carbon footprint for building new homes by up to 70%.
Pioneering this technology in schools for the first time, 14Trees aims to address the country’s chronic infrastructure shortage while creating skilled local jobs.
