Colombia: Holcim Colombia has announced that it will deliver 7t of cement, financial contributions from its employees and technical assistance for home recovery to support communities affected by the earthquake on 10 August 2026 in the department of Chocó. The initiative will be carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Housing and will prioritise the stabilisation of basic infrastructure and urgent repairs in the most vulnerable areas. Holcim said that the ‘first’ 7t will be specifically directed towards priority interventions in infrastructure. Employees in Latin America will contribute a day’s salary, and the company will match this contribution, which will be channelled through the ‘Colombia, One Heart’ foundation and UNICEF.
