HeidelbergCement strengthens climate protection commitment

Our parent company HeidelbergCement has strengthened its commitment to climate protection by joining the support group of the Foundation 2°, a network of entrepreneurs for progressive climate change named after the goal of limiting average global warming to well below 2°C.

Together with the Foundation 2° HeidelbergCement wants to develop cross-sector approaches and concepts for Germany and Europe in order to make climate protection a sustainable and successful business model.

"For the development of a carbon neutral construction industry, we need the right social and political framework as well as strong partners with whom we can also be economically successful on our path to climate neutrality," says Dr. Dominik von Achten, chairman of the managing board of HeidelbergCement.

"As one of the leading companies in the building materials industry, we have been committed to sustainable construction for a long time. Through our involvement in the Foundation 2°, we want to work with other like-minded companies and set the course for a successful, climate neutral future now."

Sabine Nallinger, managing director of the Foundation 2°, said: “HeidelbergCement is leading the way with its innovations in corporate climate protection. Together, we want to advance topics and projects making climate protection a business model even for energy-intensive industrial companies.”
