One Group, Concretely Dynamic.
We are a multinational Group with registered offices in the Netherlands operating in the building materials sector. With operations in 18 countries and a production capacity of over 13 million tons of white and grey cement, we sell around 10 million tons of aggregates and 5 million cubic meters of ready-mix concrete annually and we represent a reference point in the construction and maintenance of infrastructures as well as in residential and commercial construction.
We are global leaders in white cement, the largest cement producer in Denmark and leading concrete supplier in Scandinavia, the third largest player in Belgium and among the main international grey cement operators in Türkiye. In Belgium we operate one of the largest aggregate quarries in Europe, extracting 10 million tons annually. In Türkiye we are also active in industrial waste treatment, producing waste-derived fuel (RDF) for our cement plants.
Sustainability at Core
We have set ambitious climate targets to reduce our CO2 emissions, defining a Roadmap to 2030 and investments in sustainability projects of around 100 million euros in the period 2024-2026. Key projects include:
- preliminary studies for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Denmark and Belgium
- upgrading the kiln in the Belgian plant to increase alternative fuel usage from 40% to over 70%
- transitioning to natural gas in Group's selected plants
- preparing facilties for FUTURECEM®production in Denmark
- increasing ialternative fuel use in Türkiye
- other initiatives to reduce climate impact in transport, procurement, logistics and water resources optimization in the production process.
In February 2024 the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated both our near and long term decarbonization targets, judged consistent with the 1.5°C scenario. SBTi also approved our overall net-zero emissions target by 2050.
With Cementir 4.0 we have embraced the extensive use of digital technologies across our production processes. This commitment ensures operational excellence and attention to detail throughout our entire value chain, from limestone extraction to the use of raw materials and alternative fuels in clinker production, and the creation of semi-finished and finished products with lower environmental impact.
