LafargeHolcim news

In response to the increasing market demand for performance and sustainability, the LafargeHolcim family of companies in the US has rebranded its portfolio of blended cements and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) as the Envirocore™ Series.

Four LafargeHolcim facilities in the US have received recognition from The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA).

The company has joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) ‘Business Ambition for 1.5°C,’ becoming the first global building materials company to sign the pledge with intermediate targets for 2030, validated by SBTi2.

With its global open innovation platform LH MAQER, LafargeHolcim is inviting talented data and technical minds to reinvent sustainable cities by participating in HackZurich, Europe's largest hackathon, on 18 – 20 September 2020.

The company has provided 80 000 cubic metres of concrete for the newly integrated transport network that will connect metro lines and redesigned bus routes to sea and air connections.

The company is to continue working with recycled concrete after conducting projects in which recycled material was used as Holcim exposed concrete.

The Lafarge Canada Hub City Paving team recently helped support the development of road infrastructure for Ahousaht Nation in Maaqtusiis, Flores Island BC.

The 2019 Holcim Germany Group is to publish the environmental performances of the production sites Beckum, Bremen, Dortmund, Dotternhausen, Duisburg, Duisburg-Schwelgern, Höver, Lägerdorf and Salzgitter.

The company recorded global net revenue of R$3.9 billion in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 18% as compared to the same period in 2019.

The newcomers were given a warm welcome at their new work locations.
