Sustainable Products and Solutions
Sustainability leader
We offer products that help customers reduce the carbon footprint of their construction processes. With this goal in mind, we were the first in the industry to offer a net-zero CO₂ concrete solution, Vertua®. In 2023, we became the first in our industry to provide third-party validated environmental impact information globally for all core products in our main markets. We continuously innovate and develop construction products and solutions with sustainable attributes.
More sustainable by design
Vertua® is part of our extensive family of products, including lower-carbon cement, concrete, aggregates, and globally available aggregates and admixtures. Designed to meet customer sustainability goals, it supports our 2050 net-zero CO₂ ambition.

Environmental impact transparency
We are the first company in the industry to provide the Global Warming Potential and environmental impacts information for its core products in all its main markets. This disclosure is customized by location and is useful for architects, engineers, contractors, and customers seeking sustainable construction or green certifications.
Environmental product declarations
In the US we provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on-demand to our customers. EPDs provide real-time environmental data on the Global Warming Potential and other relevant environmental impacts such as acidification, abiotic depletion, and eutrophication.
CERO2
The CERO2 carbon footprint measurement tool calculates the environmental footprint of a product in a particular location, in detail. The tool provides a much higher degree of accuracy than other carbon calculator tools currently available in the market.
