Why invest in Cementir?
-
Strong commitment to sustainability
- We have defined a sustainability strategy aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030, defining a 10-year Roadmap and committing 86 million euros to sustainability projects in the 2023-2025 Industrial Plan. These include the construction of a new kiln at our Belgian plant in order to increase alternative fuels use from current 40% to 80%; the switch to natural gas and biogas in some plants; the extension of district heating and other energy efficiency projects, and initiatives to reduce transport climate change impact and make the best possible use of water resources.
- Thanks to the introduction of new value-added products and technologies such as FUTURECEM® we will significantly reduce the clinker content of our cements. In July 2021, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated Cementir’s CO2 emission reduction targets, judged to be consistent with the ‘well below 2˚C’ objective.
