Neeraj Akhoury, CEO of Holcim India and Managing Director & CEO, of Ambuja Cements, told the media that the mainstreaming of sustainability is the most important affirmative step taken by the global cement industry. The company’s sustainability plan and the roadmap to reaching Net Zero are closely aligned with Holcim’s commitment to becoming a net-zero carbon company by 2050 that will be calculated by clearly defined science-based targets.

Ambuja Cements is also infusing in clean energy efforts like Waste Heat Recovery System to decrease clinker factor, energy efficiency (thermal & electrical) and usage of renewable energy from waste derived resources or alternative fuels, optimising fuel composition and rainwater harvesting.

The firm has tied up with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) to create green products like limestone calcined clay cement, which will allow a further decrease in its carbon footprint. The firm was the first cement company globally to be designated to the CDP 2021 ‘A’ list for water security.

Ambuja Cements has also been driving growth in usage of waste-derived resources like fly ash and slag in producing cement.
