Holcim ECOPact con CEM IV/A (P)

Holcim is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality concrete and mortar, and has projects and activities on road and network, collective housing. Concrete and mortar production is a specific process: depending on the nature and quantity of each of the components (cement, aggregates, water, additives), it will have different characteristics. Once manufactured, the ready-mixed concrete/mortar is a fresh product, which must be transported and used quickly on local markets, and under optimal conditions. Holcim´s concrete and mortar offer an outstanding combination of product quality and performance. All manufactured products are high quality concrete and mortar, characterised by their extraordinary capacity and great finishing. Products are a ready-mix concrete/mortar, as well as that the ranges included are structural concretes, except Ultra Series Proyectado which is intended application is on flooring and paving.

Manufacturing or service provision descriptionA1 Raw materials supply: this module takes into account the extraction and processing of raw materials and the energy that is produced prior to the manufacturing process under study. The product uses ECOPlanet CEM IV/A (P) 42.5 R-SR cement, manufactured in Villaluenga de la Sagra, Spain, which contains between 11%-35% natural pozzolan replacing clinker. o A2 Transport: this module includes the transport of the different raw materials from the manufacturer to the factory. The distance and type of concrete truck for each raw material has been introduced. o A3 Manufacturing: this module includes the consumption of energy and water used during the manufacturing process, as well as the transport and management of the factory-produced waste. The manufacture of concreate or mortar consists mainly of a mixing process of different components.

General disclaimerThe results of the end-of-life stage (modules C1-C4) should be considered when using the results of the product stage (modules A1-A3/A1-A5 for services).
Disclaimer 1The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties of these results are high or as there is limited experience with the indicator
Disclaimer 2The results of the impact categories abiotic depletion of minerals and metals may be highly uncertain in LCAs that include capital goods/infrastructure in generic datasets, in case infrastructure/capital goods contribute greatly to the total results. This is because the LCI data of infrastructure/capital goods used to quantify these indicators in currently available generic datasets sometimes lack temporal, technological and geographical representativeness. Caution should be exercised when using the results of these indicators for decision-making purposes.

Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
Disclaimer 2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties of these results are high or as there is limited experience with the indicator.
Disclaimer 3The results of the impact categories land use, human toxicity (cancer), human toxicity, noncancer and ecotoxicity (freshwater) may be highly uncertain in LCAs that include capital goods/infrastructure in generic datasets, in case infrastructure/capital goods contribute greatly to the total results. This is because the LCI data of infrastructure/capital goods used to quantify these indicators in currently available generic datasets sometimes lack temporal, technological and geographical representativeness. Caution should be exercised when using the results of these indicators for decision-making purposes.

Additional environmental information

EPD

Additional social and economic information

With the aim of achieving a positive contribution to nature and society, we develop our activity based on principles of sustainable development, through continuous improvement in our environmental behaviour and focused on these four fundamental principles: our Management System, control environmental impact, contribution to the circular economy and transparent relationship with the environment.

Registry of carbon footprint, compensation and CO2 absorption projects of the Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico de España.

Holcim Spain has registered its carbon footprint in section a) of the Carbon footprint and commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

The limits of the organization included in the calculation are: cement, concrete and mortar manufacturing activity carried out in all its facilities in Spain, central offices in Madrid and 63 production centers.

Our commitment to the circular economy as the main way to take advantage of the waste life cycle

The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy is one of the environmental priorities of our business. Within our activity, our objective is to reuse the value of waste as resources, that is, to maximize its life cycle.

At Holcim, we achieve the transition to circularity by complementing the activity of Geocycle, a subsidiary of the Group that is dedicated to the pre-treatment of waste to turn it into fuel, and the cement factories that use it in their clinker production process (component cement base).

Proactive restoration of our quarries

At Holcim we have been working, for more than 30 years, for the restoration of our quarries with the aim of generating a net positive impact on biodiversity. We are committed to a participatory model of quarry rehabilitation in which the increase of biodiversity and natural capital is favoured.

Our restoration model serves as a lever for change on the critical problem of biodiversity loss and its potential to reverse its current negative trend. This work, key when it comes to creating shared value with the communities in which we operate, has been recognized in 2018 with the first second prize in the "Company and Biodiversity" category in the latest edition of the European Business Awards for the Environment , promoted by the Biodiversity Foundation.
