Amsterdam, 7 February 2025 – Cementir Holding N.V. has been included in CDP’s prestigious “A list” for the first time, recognizing the company’s strategies and actions to mitigate climate change and embrace corporate transparency. This achievement underlines the significant progress Cementir has made in four years, from its initial “B” rating in 2020.

Cementir has also maintained its leadership in CDP Water Security with an A- score for the third year in a row.

“Cementir’s inclusion in the “A list” is a further recognition of our strong commitment to climate change mitigation and the effectiveness of our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental impact. We remain dedicated to this path”, commented Francesco Caltagirone jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Cementir is committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, with ambitious reduction targets validated by the Science Based Target initiative and aligned with the 1.5°C scenario for the cement sector.

A key milestone of Cementir’s net zero journey has been the award of EUR 220 million contribution from the EU Innovation Fund to project ACCSION, one of the largest onshore Carbon Capture and Storage systems in Europe, which will allow its Aalborg plant to avoid 1.5 million tons of CO2 emissions per year. 

Cementir’s sustainability roadmap includes several initiatives, from investments to reduce cement clinker content, the increased use of alternative fuels and raw materials, to renewable energy production and the development of innovative, more sustainable products such as FUTURECEM® and D-Carb®. 

Furthermore, the Group has strengthened its commitment for a more sustainable water management, endorsing the WASH Pledge and setting clear targets to reduce water consumption.
CDP’s scoring methodology assesses companies on a scale from a minimum of “D-” to “A” measuring the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
