Sustainability is a long term commitment that requires action now. We must be constantly looking ahead to figure out consequences of our strategies, without losing grip on today’s needs.

The key words are: responsibility, combining profitable economic performance with the improvement of quality of life and protection of the environment; integrity, placing ethical behaviour at the heart of the business; efficiency, technical expertise and cost management for global effectiveness; innovation, in production, management and social behaviour; and diversity, as a source of energy and value for the Group.

Principles must be transformed into actions, actions must deliver results and progress towards results must be measurable. This is the reason why the Group’s policies and procedures, as well as its reporting methodology, are so important.

We must ensure transparency and effective communication to all stakeholders, with the aim of sharing what I know we are doing and what will be our ongoing commitments. Sharper information, quantified performance against targets and external assurance of all major key performance indicators are some of Italcementi Group committments.

Italcementi confirmed its commitment to reinforce and develop the interrelated pillars of sustainable development through more effective governance, by the creation of the Sustainable Development Department at Group level.
This new function now coordinates all our activities in the fields of climate protection, environment, industrial hygiene, safety, and social initiatives.

We are ready to accept all these challenges leveraging our resources, competences and values to deliver a better and sustainable future to our stakeholders.
