WHAT IS HOLCIM'S social VALUE strategy?

Holcim's 2030 Social Impact Strategy outlines how we empower people and communities through human rights due diligence and social impact initiatives.

Our strategy centers around three pillars: human rights, improving livelihoods and infrastructure and housing.

Human rights

We prioritize human rights due diligence across our operations, analyzing human rights risks and detailing our commitment in our policies.

Livelihoods and Housing

We have invested more than 18 million CHF in 2025 into housing and infrastructure, health, education and skills development.

Human rights

Holcim is fully committed to the highest standards of human rights. Our policies are fully aligned with the United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

Improving livelihoods

Holcim actively invests in a broad range of initiatives in our commitment to our people and communities. These initiatives cut across housing, health, education and skills development to enhance the livelihoods of people in the areas where we operate.

Housing and infrastructure

Approximately 1.6 billion people worldwide do not have access to adequate housing and infrastructure. We address this global social challenge by using our expertise in building materials and solutions to bridge this housing gap - partnering with communities, NGOs and governments worldwide.

Holcim is committed to making our people and communities around the world thrive. Upholding the highest standards of human rights is at the core of who we are and how we operate. Let's build a fairer, more inclusive and greener world for all.
