Holcim is more globally spread than any other building materials group and has a strong foothold in each of its individual markets. Geographic diversification provides stable earnings for the Group. Solid internal and external growth means we can expand our market position – in developing and mature markets alike.

Holcim is committed to global standards in both production and distribution. We believe we have a responsibility to tackle the ecological and social issues associated with our industrial operations. We therefore feel it is our duty to treat natural resources and the environment with respect. That is why we aim to put sustainable development at the heart of our business, to enhance the value we create safeguarding our reputation and contributing to continued success.

Holcim was named "Leader of the Industry" in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the fourth time in succession and is recognized as the company with the best sustainability performance in the building materials industry. The Group’s recycling strategy, its dialogue with stakeholders as well as its efforts in human resources development received top scores. However, while we have made some significant achievements, we recognize that the journey is far from over and that continuity and focus are vital to further improve our performance in the future.
