Promoting a Green Economy
Promoting a Green Economy
Advocacy for Climate Action
We are committed to promoting a green economy as a key driver of our net-zero goals. By advocating for climate action and the policies needed to enable decarbonization, we emphasize that policy changes are critical to creating a more sustainable built environment, from our operations to our products. Aligned with the Paris Agreement, we collaborate to accelerate climate action worldwide.
Our Advocacy at Work
Through our advocacy, we drive a green economy by supporting policies and actions that advance decarbonization and foster a sustainable built environment.
Circular Economy
Given the cement industry’s traditional reliance on natural resource extraction, we have a unique opportunity to contribute to a circular economy. We advocate for construction, demolition and excavation materials (CDEM) management regulations that encourage material reuse and energy recovery through co-processing. By adopting these principles in cement production, we reduce our CO₂ footprint, contribute to landfill reduction, and decrease the consumption of fossil fuels and raw materials.
Sustainable Products
We advocate for the widespread use of sustainable products with reduced clinker-factor as these generate fewer emissions without compromising performance. Given existing regulatory limitations on clinker-factor reduction, this decarbonization lever remains largely untapped. For this reason, we urge regulators to update policies and standards that promote their use, while accelerating the reduction of global CO₂ emissions and driving a more sustainable built environment.
Clean Electricity
Cement production is an energy-intensive process traditionally reliant on carbon-based energy sources that generate high levels of emissions. This is why we advocate for policies that advance the energy transition and decarbonize electric grids. We also seek investments in grid capacity, financial incentives and funding to enhance clean energy generation, usage, and storage, as well as alternative energy sources and technologies to electrify industrial processes.
Carbon Pricing
Carbon pricing tools such as emissions trading systems, or cap-and-trade schemes, incentivize innovation and carbon reduction while helping industries meet climate targets, generate revenue from decarbonization efforts and reinvest carbon credits into new technologies. We urge regulators to prioritize these market-based tools, as their widespread adoption is critical to achieve substantial global CO₂ reductions and advance climate action.
R&D Funding
We advocate for increased government and multilateral funding for research and development to accelerate the creation and implementation of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies, along with other decarbonization solutions. These investments are critical to scaling up innovative technologies that will play a key role in reducing global carbon emissions and driving the transition to a low-carbon economy, ultimately helping to meet international climate targets.
Partnerships & Collaborations
We are constantly working on strengthening our relationships with our global stakeholder network to help us move our sustainability agenda forward.
