Holcim’s Post

Quantum leap for Obourg cement plant in Belgium ! Ground breaking for a new clinker plant, on the way to to carbon zero cement and concrete. Still good memories of my time there in 1995, the start of my journey in the exciting world of concrete and construction.

Our industry partner Holcim Schweiz / Suisse / Svizzera took the stage at the Swiss Green Economy Symposium to highlight the power of collaboration in construction to achieve global climate goals! 🌍🏗️ End of August, the annual SGES took place under the theme "Solving Conflicts Together."  Climate change and resource scarcity are challenges we all face. As Clemens Woegerbauer put it, "To solve conflicts, we must unite and build a strong partner ecosystem." 🤝 That’s exactly what we’re doing with our recently published partnership with KIBAG and Holcim Schweiz / Suisse / Svizzera)! Together, we're bringing Oxacrete Oulesse, a cement-free binder and sustainable alternative to traditional cement, to the market! 🌱✨ #Sustainability #NetZero #CircularEconomy #ConstructionInnovation

We heard it at the World Circular Economy Forum WCEF, governments are discussing it and so did we these days, with our wonderful network from all over Europe: reducing our consumption of resources, and keeping them in the loop as long as possible, is the essence of a #CircularEconomy. Resource extraction and overconsumption are driving the environmental and social challenges of our times. By prioritising #sufficiency and sustainable resource management, we can invert the trend and live better within planetary boundaries. It's time for resource use reduction targets in the EU: https://lnkd.in/e42MwKig #WCEF2024 WWF Germany Oeko-Institut e.V. Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V.

EARTH DAY 🌎🌱 Today, 22nd April, is Earth Day. But how many of us are really willing to take care of it? To the Earth we owe our life, and for this reason we are aware of our importance for the construction of a more sustainable future as part of a global community. VMC Vignoni Group has set up a company policy aimed at waste reduction and at a constant improvement of its own sustainability level, thus demonstrating that it is indeed possible to produce respecting nature, using recycled materials and avoiding use of harmful substances for the environment. VMC actively participates to the self-assessment of its productive phases by also providing the verified results through the more and more diffused platform "HIGG". Our company was also recently declared "Efficient Factory" by Kataclima.
