Chairman and CEO statement
Rolf Soiron and Markus Akermann

For Rolf Soiron and Markus Akermann, it is important for Holcim to pursue the goal of sustainable development.

Living up to our SD commitment
Holcim is one of the industry's most respected companies. This is not only attributable to our business success, but also reflects our efforts in the field of sustainability. The progress we are making on the environmental and social fronts is recognized, as borne out by the fact that Holcim has been named industry leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for the second time in succession.

We are committed to meeting our sustainability targets and, with the support of partners and stakeholders, addressing the key challenges we face.

Our focus on priority issues aims to ensure quality of information and performance improvements.

Working across the triple bottom line means embedding SD in our vision, strategy and management systems, turning challenges into opportunities, innovating, and ensuring strong corporate governance and organizational structures.

The best evidence for the action behind our commitments are the many awards for sustainable development received by our companies, and we thank our Holcim employees for their valuable contributions.
