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.

ECOPlanet is a global brand for green cement. Green cement delivers a minimum of 30% carbon footprint reduction versus conventional cement in the market. It's the first of its kind in the world.
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.
Holcim is seizing today’s historic opportunity to build a greener world.
The next ten years are decisive for climate action. As builders we have a huge role to play, especially in steering the USD trillions of infrastructure investment now coming online.
