A sustainable and commited sector
- WITH THE SOCIETY: Health conditions in the production centers and their surroundings are optimal and are controlled at all times. Factories, with material and energy recovery, also contribute to anefficient waste management.
- WITH THE COUNTRY:Despite the multinational nature of the companies, production facilities have not been relocatedand job reductionhas been minimized.
- WITH THE ENVIRONMENT:200 M€ invested in the previous30 years to reduce the environmental impact, with real measurable effects. The cement sector was the first to sign a Voluntary Agreement on environmental issues with the Generalitat, which has been renewed several times and is still in force.
- WITH DEVELOPMENT: Modern and innovative applications that provide profitable solutions (durable and low-maintenance) and with significant economic and energy savings (for example, in environmentally efficient buildings or pavements) that should allow building the Catalonia of the future.
