Sustainability

"Carmeuse embraces its social, ethical and environmental responsibilities, but everyone, individually, at his or her own level, in his or her own team, in his or her own community, can also contribute. We need to understand that each one of us has a role to play in the Carmeuse Sustainability journey."

R. Collinet - CEO Carmeuse Group

Sustainability Vision

“We contribute to a better world” is our company vision that blossomed from our sustainability roots. The core of this vision rests on three domains: social, environmental and economic (People, Planet, Prosperity). These three domains are very much interlinked. And here is what each of them means to us:

People

Safety First - We operate without accident through a well motivated, trained, educated and healthy workforce.

Local Relationship Management - We want to be recognized as a company operating in constructive dialogue with our stakeholders

Local Partnership - We partner with local organizations for the betterment of our communities

Planet

Optimisation of Resources - We optimize our consumption of natural resources (stone, water, fossil fuels)

Reduction of CO₂ Footprint - We reduce our CO2 footprint and that of our customers

Promote Biodiversity and Respect Environment - We create and preserve biodiversity and respect the environment

Prosperity

Preferred Supplier - We are the preferred supplier, with products and services bringing the best benefit for the customers and for Carmeuse

Growing the Business - We continue to grow the business through strategic investments and joint ventures, while continuing to emphasize Carmeuse values

Circular Economy - We actively integrate the Circular Economy in our business model

State of Play 2023

The Sustainability State of Play gives us a clear picture of where we are today, but also where and how we can do better.

We’ll continue to use our collective energy to achieve our purpose and to shape a sustainable future for our company and communities.

To take our vision one step further, by continuing to build on this to have a greater global impact, we have aligned our goals with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals are an urgent call to action by all countries - developed and developing – for a concerted global partnership to be achieved by 2030.
