Germany: HeidelbergCement has strengthened its climate neutrality commitments by joining the Stiftung 2° support group, a network of private companies lobbying for climate goals. The group says that it wants “to develop cross-sector approaches and concepts for Germany and Europe in order to make climate protection a sustainable and successful business model.”
Managing board chair Dominik von Achten said, "For the development of a carbon neutral construction industry, we need the right social and political framework as well as strong partners with whom we can also be economically successful on our path to climate neutrality. As one of the leading companies in the building materials industry, we have been committed to sustainable construction for a long time. Through our involvement in Stiftung 2°, we want to work with other like-minded companies and set the course for a successful, climate neutral future now."
