In this project, our teams were not asked to just deliver cement, they were asked to transform the roads of the Galápagos Islands. It was not only about producing cement and stabilizing roads. Our teams overcame significant logistics and sustainability challenges, adapting the products to project needs, protecting the cement over a six-day ocean voyage, using the most advanced machines and processes for durable and sustainable road stabilization, and using locally-sourced materials. #Galapagos #GalapagosIslands #OnlyLafargeHolcimCan #HolcimEcuador #roads #roadstabilization #logistics #cement

The road stabilization project in the Galápagos Islands has become a reference work for Holcim Ecuador. In three months and 70 work days, our teams completed the road stabilization with the highest quality and care for the environment. The use of local products, the improvement of local economies, and the operational challenges made this project a source of pride for Holcim Ecuador. Trust and support from the entire organization have helped the teams to carry on their daily tasks with high motivation and to sacrifice time with their families in order to achieve this landmark outcome. #Galapagos #GalapagosIslands #OnlyLafargeHolcimCan #HolcimEcuador #roads #roadstabilization #logistics #cement

Holcim Ecuador stabilized 41 km of road on the Galápagos Islands. The cement is mixed with materials found locally, making the outcome more compatible with the delicate ecosystem. The stabilized roads help farmers bring their goods to market and facilitate tourism. Each bag has been collected and returned to the mainland to avoid environmental impact on local flora and fauna. #Galapagos #GalapagosIslands #OnlyLafargeHolcimCan #HolcimEcuador #roads #roadstabilization #logistics #cement

Holcim Argentina and YPF Luz have signed an important agreement for the provision of renewable energy for their cement plants. Supply is scheduled to begin in early 2020, reaching 35% coverage of Holcim's electric energy demand by the end of the first half of that year. The energy contracted is an annual average of 142 GWh. #renewableenergy #energy #windpower #windmill #windturbine #cement #LafargeHolcim

We are keeping plastic out of the oceans with projects in Egypt, Mexico, Morocco and the Philippines. As around 80% of marine litter comes from land, it is key to map where the plastic enters the ocean. In Morocco, 32 key target locations have been identified in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. #environment #circulareconomy #plastics #waste #plasticwaste #oceanwaste #marinewaste #wastemanagement #LafargeHolcim

In April 2019 we engaged with schools near our facilities in China to help children get a good start and promote our core values of Health & Safety. Beginning at the Liuhe Primary School near our #cement plant in #Sichuan, we aim to extend the reach of the “Small classrooms with great love” project to eight schools and two-thousand students in Sichuan province. #community #school #sustainability #CSR #outreach #LafargeHolcim

Due to the locally limited working space in Santorini, caissons are precast in Crete’s Heraklion port on a floating platform and towed to the destination on the same facility, after they have been partially submerged just outside the port. #caissons #infrastructure #port #ports #precast #buildingmaterials #santoriniport #readymix #concrete #aggregates

To ensure minimal disruption, submerged precast solutions are being used for the new quay, using ready-mix concrete provided by our Greek subsidiary HERACLES - chosen thanks to its know-how, experience and extensive network of plants and terminals strategically located in port areas across Greece. #caissons #infrastructure #port #ports #precast #buildingmaterials #santoriniport #readymix #concrete #aggregates

Santorini’s port is struggling to cope with the heavy tourist traffic. The EUR 8.4 million rebuilding project must therefore be carried out at different stages to ensure the facility can be operational at all times. #caissons #infrastructure #port #ports #precast #buildingmaterials #santoriniport #readymix #concrete #aggregates
