8 9 Sustainability in practice Taking responsibility

We are committed to taking the lead not only in eco- nomic and technological terms, but also in ecological and social terms. Our business activity aims to satisfy current needs without having a negative impact on the needs of future generations. Use of alternative raw materials and fuels Cement production is resource-intensive in terms of fuel and raw materials. Efficient use of naturally occurring raw materials is an essential cornerstone of our environmental policy. Wherever possible, we use waste materials as alternative raw materials and fuels, instead of natural resources.
