Agenda for sustainable change in the cement industry

19 Mar 2021 CW Team

Sustainability or green initiatives have set as a wider canvas for companies to define a set of standards to be more environmentally conscious. With climate change being a reality, and with the awareness of actions to arrest climate change increasing, all corporates feel the pressing need to initiate, activate, measure and audit the steps that are taken under sustainability.

For each segment of a business, sustainability comes with varied sets of compliances. The cement sector historically carries the burden of being the most polluting manufacturing.
