Always with equal or better quality or performance, these help our customers meet increasingly strict regulatory requirements, access sustainable finance and green public procurement, as well as achieve ambitious sustainability standards like LEED, BREEAM and WELL. This is what it means to be the leading partner for sustainable construction.
Why is there a specific focus on growing efficient Building Systems?
To expand our addressable markets in Building Solutions, we are focusing on growing our energy-efficient Building Systems, because of growing demand, attractive margins, high returns and high cash conversion.
Holcim’s energy-efficient walling and roofing systems are best positioned to meet global megatrends - from rapid urbanization addressing the housing gap affecting an estimated 1.6 billion people, to increasing demand for repair and refurbishment, with 75% of residential buildings in Europe alone considered energy inefficient.
What are the benefits of system and specification selling?
As we transform our business, Holcim is increasingly providing integrated solutions powered by our premium brands - from ECOPact and Agilia to Ytong, Zinco and more. Through system and specification selling, this ensures smarter decisions, better coordination and more efficient project delivery, backed by advanced digital services.
