Switzerland: Indonesian citizens of Pulau Pari have launched a legal case against Holcim in Switzerland for its contribution to climate change. Holcim operated in Indonesia from 1971 through its subsidiary Holcim Indonesia, which Semen Indonesia acquired from the group in 2019. Pulau Pari faces increased climate change-induced flooding, including two floods in 2020. Four residents have launched the present case against Holcim for damages, funding for flood defences and positive measures towards further group CO2 emissions reduction. Indonesia-based environmental organisation Walhi, Swiss Church Aid (HEKS) and the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) are supporting the case.
