OUR ESG Ratings and disclosures
At Holcim we engage with ESG ratings agencies to validate our sustainability performance externally. Unlike financial or credit ratings, ESG ratings cover the full gambit of our company’s non-financial performance - from carbon emissions through to human rights management. Each rating applies different weightings to various dimensions and their specific topics. Therefore, Holcim collaborates with multiple rating agencies to present a comprehensive picture.
