In Nigeria, LafargeHolcim operates a large cement plant. As we posted in ‘LafargeHolcim pollutes with impunity’, this plant has smothered the local community with dust. The local people have started a class action to compensate for the alleged "pollution and destruction of the plaintiffs’ town, farmlands, rivers, air and general environment, arising from limestone mining and cement manufacture for a continuous period of 60 years." LafargeHolcim's response to the allegations can be found here.
A new documentary explores how multinationals violate the fundamental rights of local populations and create environmental disasters; two companies are featured, one of which is LafargeHolcim – parent company of Aggregate Industries:
Comme l'explique Dick Marty dans le documentaire, lorsque des multinationales comme @Glencore ou @LafargeHolcim polluent des cours d’eau ou étouffent des villages aux particules fines, elles doivent être tenues responsables ! #MultinationalesResponsables https://t.co/sHm65jIGv7

...when multinationals like @Glencore or @LafargeHolcim pollute rivers or suffocate villages with fine particles, they must be held responsible!
