[Award 🏆] And the winners are… Two of the Group’s solutions won awards during the 2024 Innovation Awards Ceremony, an event organized by Le Moniteur and the Fédération Nationale des Travaux Publics to recognize innovative projects carried out by companies in the field of public works. Our CEO Pierre Vanstoflegatte attended this awards ceremony, which was part of the Paris INTERMAT trade show dedicated to sustainable construction solutions and technologies. 🏅 Construction Site Organization and Logistics Award: Fluidéo Our solution Fluidéo was designed to optimize urban mobility and logistics for construction projects in the Athletes Village, located just to the north of Paris. This tailor-made, digital service, implemented by the Société de Livraison des Ouvrages Olympiques - SOLIDEO, helped both improve public acceptance of the construction sites and reduce their impact on public spaces. By regulating "last mile" logistic flows, Fluidéo assisted companies involved in the construction projects to organize “just-in-time” delivery flows and lowered the projects’ carbon footprint. 🏅 Circular Economy Award: Easycold R In northern France, our teams made their mark at the heart of a new wind farm that produces enough electricity to power nearly 36,000 households. These teams connected the farm’s various wind turbines using roads with a reduced carbon footprint, thanks to the circular economy. Easycold R , the asphalt mix chosen to surface 14,500 m² (about 150,000 ft²) of pavement at this site, is produced at an ambient temperature and incorporates 90% Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP). These major benefits both save energy and, when compared to similar asphalt mixes, have a 50% lower carbon footprint. #ColasDares #WeActForInnovation #WeOpenTheWay

Last year, our innovative partners CPB Contractors and Major Road Projects Victoria #won the prestigious 2023 Australian Construction Achievement #Award for the M80 Ring Road Upgrade Project. This project has helped transform one of Melbourne's busiest freeways, benefiting over 165,000 daily drivers. Our TonerPlas® asphalt-improvement additive was one of the key components of the project, allowing our partners to collectively achieve the project's sustainability goals, in addition to enhancing the overall road performance. TonerPlas® is 100% Australian innovation- created from waste toner and post-consumer soft plastics, it is an engineered product that highlights the potential for innovative and sustainable solutions in major construction projects.

Sustainable development is currently one of the most important topics in business 🌱 At Etex, we want to be socially, governmentally and ecologically responsible. We are aware that the construction industry as a whole is responsible for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and 98% of the materials used in this industry end up in landfills. We have a strong determination to be a company that will change these trends. We have developed our own Road to Sustainability 2030, which includes, among other things: 🔹 to recover cut plasterboards from construction sites when delivering new ones, 🔹 to provide recycled building products and materials, 🔹 to communicate the advantages of lightweight and landscape-friendly structures, 🔹 to provide appropriate sustainability training for our architects, installers and contractors. What do you think about such actions? What other actions could we take? #Etex #ESG #sustainability #RoadToSustainability2030

We are happy to share that Pan-United Corporation was recently featured on The Edge Singapore!    Our CEO May Ng discussed the increasing adoption of Pan-United's signature carbon dioxide mineralised concrete and provided updates on our digitalisation journey with AiR Digital Solutions, our tech subsidiary.   The story highlights how project owners are now integrating Whole Life Carbon Assessments (WLCA) in the planning stage to calculate both operational and embodied carbon dioxide emissions over a building's lifespan. This is good news! WLCA enables developers to identify opportunities to reduce total carbon emissions through the selection of greener materials 🌱   At Pan-United, our purpose is to decarbonise the world with concrete. We will continue to establish new industry standards to foster widespread adoption of low-carbon concrete.   A big thank you to Felicia T. for sharing our story and aspirations for the built environment.   Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gfH75P9s   #decarbonisation #builtenvironment #PanUSustainability

💡 Some highlights from the conference "Circular economy in the construction sector", held last week in Sofia. #circularconstruction #greentransition #circulareconomy #innovativesolutions

As Etex, we want to be a model of sustainable development for the construction industry around the world 🌎🤝 We recognize that the construction industry as a whole is currently responsible for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and 98% of materials used in the industry end up in landfill or for low-value uses at the end of their life. However, at Etex we know that good change is possible. We have planned specific actions as part of the internal Road to Sustainability 2030 program, which are aimed at both increasing the involvement of our customers and developing our business towards lightweight construction solutions. We have planned activities such as collecting and recovering materials from construction sites, using recycled building materials, pro-ecological education of architects, installers and contractors, and promoting lightweight structures and landscape-friendly design.

The European Patent Office in Vienna, Austria is being renovated using Holcim's sustainable building solutions from foundation to rooftop! Our ECOPact low-carbon concrete with ECOCycle® inside was used throughout. Elevate roofing was also chosen to maximize the building’s energy efficiency. Once completed, the European Patent Office will achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification as a sustainable building. 🏢 Retrofitting an existing building reduces the environmental impact of construction. It generates less waste and reduces the need for new materials.   ♻️ Renovating with circular building solutions containing recycled materials lowers construction-related CO2 emissions compared to standard materials.   💪 Using building solutions designed for energy efficiency reduces heating and cooling needs – decreasing a building’s lifetime emissions.   Here's more on the project 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCpaGKSU   #BuildingProgress #CircularConstruction #Innovation

Circular Economy is gaining more and more importance in the construction sector. I am happy to be part of such projects that are enhancing the circular economy in this field and have a practical approach. CirCon4Climate #circulareconomy #construction #reseach
