It is highly engaged in several environmental practices such as resource recycling, air pollution management and water quality management.

“We are very proud that we have not only managed to develop a strong market position in the international cement sector, but also maintain high ethical end environmental standards for our business,” said Moon JongGoo, CEO of SAMPYO Cement. “We’ve admired the work already done by the WCA to raise awareness of some of the central environmental and technological issues and opportunities faced by our industry today, and we look forward to contributing to this global discussion as Corporate Members going forward.”
