Among the most used materials in the world, concrete ranks 2nd, just after water. In Vietnam, as the economy is booming, cement companies have been quarrying limestone and clay even more incessantly. The impacts on both local communities and biodiversity are brutal.

As one of the major producers of cement in the World, The Holcim Group is leading the way to sustainable development by offsetting its impact on biodiversity. Working hand in hand with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and local authorities, its subsidiary Holcim Vietnam helps establish new standards of biodiversity mitigation for the mining industry. Stopping entire ecocide is a competitive advantage.
