The cement industry is one of the world’s most polluting: it accounts for 5% of man-made carbon-dioxide emissions each year...
Cement firms have not attracted the ire of environmental campaigners in the way that oil firms have. But that could change if they shirk efforts to cut emissions in a manner consistent with keeping the world less than 2°C warmer than it was in pre-industrial times (as agreed at UN climate talks last year). For now, few cement companies are setting environmental targets that are tough enough.
Let’s imagine a world where cement and aggregate companies #ActOnClimate, not just talk about it.
