Continuous and accessible information
The application of policies of transparency and dialogue with society is part of Ciment Català's mission. The dissemination of the Agrupació's activities and, above all, the dissemination of technical knowledge and statistical data on the sector are the focus of the main communication actions.
The information offered is continuous and accessible to the different Interest Groups, both through structured channels (digital and printed) and through personal and direct contact (meetings, presentations, visits...). Even in a scenario of mobility restrictions because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ciment Català has developed an extensive programme of teleworking sessions aimed at attending all the interlocutions received from publics such as public administrations, the media or the general public.
Throughout 2021, the list of actions linked to the transparency policies implemented by the Catalan cement industry includes the following stakeholders and activities:
- Society and citizens: publication of the Annual Report, Circular Economy Observatory and updating of the corporate website.
- Public Administrations: sectoral presentations, Carbon Neutrality Roadmap, technical reports, collaboration agreements and the publication of newsletters.
- Media: regular publication of statistical releases, permanent attention to any request for information and support for the Catalan Association of Scientific Communication.
- Neighbourhood associations: visits to factories, informative meetings, permanent attention, participation in control and monitoring commissions and sponsorships.
- Sector professionals: working committees, carbon neutrality roadmap, technical training, and newsletter publication.
