The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), a progressive and sustainability focused union formed of nine leading cement and concrete companies, has launched.
GCCA’s founding members are CEMEX, CNBM, CRH, Dangote, Eurocement, HeidelbergCement, LafargeHolcim, Taiheiyo, and Votorantim. Membership of GCCA is available for cement manufacturers from all over the world that share the organisation’s values.
The association’s main focus will be on working to enhance the cement and concrete industry’s contribution to a variety of global issues, as well as driving general advancements in sustainable construction.
With concrete now representing the world’s second most consumed product after water, the association’s agenda will include climate change mitigation and sustainable urbanisation and development.
The GCCA will be led by international cement companies and headquartered in London, consolidating and supporting the work done by existing associations at national and regional level.
