Holcim

Overall, Holcim has understood that the climate is a profoundly material subject and has put in place multiple actions to manage it. Unfortunately, Holcim's actions appear to be aimed at minimizing costs to continue its business as usual. The company has not given itself the opportunity to broaden the scope of its business model redefinition, for example by considering itself a building materials company rather than a cement company. Significant efforts seem to have been made in Holcim's climate plan and the level of reporting is positive. The main strengths of the climate plan are the science-based targets, the high share of the R&D budget dedicated to low-carbon technologies, the company's climate governance, the transparency of political commitment and the alignment with positions in favour of climate protection.
