HeidelbergCement is committed to sustainability and builds on the three pillars: ecology, economy and social responsibility. Our sustainable corporate governance places the primary focus on customers, employees, shareholders and local partners at all locations.
As a company that makes intensive use of raw materials, we regard climate protection and the securing of resources as the foundation of our future development. With efficient production processes and the increasing use of alternative fuels and raw materials, we make an important contribution to protecting our climate. Group-wide standards for environmental protection and occupational health and safety help us to ensure that our ambitious goals are implemented worldwide. The quarries and the sand and aggregates pits from which we extract our raw materials are returned to a natural state or put to agricultural use. We are increasingly opting for renaturation, thus helping to preserve biological and species diversity.
