Sustainability Ambitions 2020

The HeidelbergCement Sustainability Ambitions 2020 describe our most important activities for promoting sustainability. The programme defines the core components of our sustainability strategy, but it does not exclude the incorporation of additional measures into efforts to improve our sustainability performance.

Activity Measures 
Occupational health and safety / Occupational health and safety is a top priority.            HeidelbergCement seeks to completely eliminate accidents, injuries and occupational illnesses.
Energy and climate protection / Climate protection is a key issue. HeidelbergCement works continuously to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and also provides solutions aimed at combating the effects of climate change.
Biodiversity / We make a major contribution to maintaining biodiversity. HeidelbergCement seeks to expand its leading role in promoting biodiversity at its quarries around the world.
Alternative raw materials and fuels / We use waste and byproducts as alternative raw materials and fuels. Our use of waste and byproducts as alternative raw materials and fuels reduces natural resource consumption and offers solutions for sustainable waste management.
Sustainable construction / We support and promote sustainable construction. HeidelbergCement endeavours to supply sustainable building materials that have a positive impact on society and the environment both during and after their service life.
Further reductions of our environmental impact / We are reducing the impact our company has on the environment. HeidelbergCement seeks to play a leading role in the control and minimisation of negative environmental effects.
