Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of Holcim’s strategy, as we reinvent building with solutions that are circular, resilient, low-carbon, energy-efficient and smart.

We are executing our net-zero 1.5°C-aligned targets to decarbonize building across the value chain. Holcim’s 2030 and 2050 net-zero targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for all scopes, and we aim to reach net-zero across the value chain by 2050.

Advancing sustainability as a driver of profitable growth, we are growing net sales and margin in line with our industry-shaping roadmap, and will achieve industry-leading sustainability targets in line with our strategy, NextGen Growth 2030:

• Scaling our sustainable offering to meet demand and reach above 50% of net sales from ECOPlanet cement and ECOPact ready-mix by 2030.
• Accelerating profitable growth in circular construction to increase construction demolition materials volumes to 20 million tons using our ECOCycle® technology platform.
• Our innovation will further accelerate decarbonization, as we reduce our net emissions below 400kg per ton of cementitious.
• Reducing freshwater withdrawal by 33% versus 2020 to build a nature-positive future. 

Our sustainability approach centers on four key pillars: climate, circularity, nature and people.
