Holcim Lebanon has published its second sustainability report. It highlights the key achievements from 2006 to 2008, assesses performance against internal targets and identifies the challenges as opportunities for improvement.
The report is a holistic view of the company’s management of environmental, social and economic impacts. The commitment to sustainability has resulted in a steady decrease in atmospheric emissions and resource utilization. Net CO2 emissions per ton of cement are reduced by 3% and dust at stack by 39%. Water consumption decreased by 25%. Good relations with the host communities are translated in transparent dialogue and joint cooperation in projects.
The report focuses on top priorities, some of which are economic impact, resource management, atmospheric emissions, occupational health and safety (OH&S), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employment practices.
Holcim Lebanon aims to be the leader in sustainability reporting locally and be recognized as a responsible and transparent corporation, while shedding light on the importance of sustainability as an element for good corporate governance.
The sustainability report follows the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, the robust and internationally recognized standards.
Established in 1929, Holcim Lebanon is one of the leading cement companies in Lebanon. It operates a grey cement plant, a white cement plant through its subsidiary in Chekka, Société Libanaise des Ciments Blancs (SLCB) and four concrete plants in Nahr El Mott, Kfarchima, Chekka and Tyre along with a grinding station located in Northern Cyprus.
