Sustainability
At Hima Cement, we strive to leave a lasting positive legacy in the industry and in the communities where we operate. Our sustainability strategy reflects that commitment and drives our efforts to combat climate change and minimize our impact on the environment, promote human rights while creating shared value for our people and communities.
Our approach to Sustainability is centered around four pillars - Climate and Energy, Circular Economy, Nature and People.
Climate and Energy
We are committed to decarbonizing our business through spearheading low-carbon operations and on producing low carbon products and solutions. As part of the Holcim Group, we have signed the “Business Ambition for 1.5°C” pledge with science based intermediate targets in alignment with a net zero pathway.
Circular Economy
The Circular economy is about avoiding waste. Hima Cement provides sustainable waste management solutions to industries, municipalities and the agriculture sector. Through co-processing, we convert waste from other industries to energy in our production process. We reuse thousands of tonnes of waste for energy and raw materials.
Nature
We are looking at preserving water and protecting and restoring biodiversity; through transformative quarry rehabilitation plans and lowering our water intensity during cement production.
People and Communities
People and communities are at the heart of what we do. We are committed to respecting and promoting human rights in our operations. We also want to create positive impact through our social programs in education, health, environment, infrastructure and livelihoods development.
