�鶹��ý

Being a leader in the building materials industry means setting new health, safety and environmental standards. Our ambition is to conduct a business with zero harm to people and to create a healthy and safe environment for our employees, contractors, communities and customers, while minimizing our environmental footprint.

• Health and safety

We respect workers’ rights. This applies to direct employees as well as contractors. We strive to contribute to the social and economic development of the communities in which we operate and engage proactively and constructively with them. More information is available in our Human Resources Policy, our position on engaging with unions, our Sustainable Procurement approach and our Human Rights Directive.

• ESG resources

We promote an inclusive and fair workplace. As an equal opportunities employer, �鶹��ý actively promotes diversity, making no distinction on gender, sexual orientation, race or religion. This is further outlined on our Careers page, in our Business Code of Conduct and the Code of Business Conduct for Suppliers.

We are committed to the protection of our people, environment, assets and reputation from intentional criminal activity, malicious acts and unwanted events. To do so, we engage security services on an “as needed” basis, following a strict risk-based methodology and stringent rules of professionalism and integrity. �鶹��ý has made its adherence to human rights very clear in its Security and Resilience Policy and governance. �鶹��ý holds its private security service providers and public forces accountable for meeting the highest standards of compliance with international best practices for security and human rights.

When interacting with private security providers and public forces, our operations are mandated to align with:

• �鶹��ý’s Code of Ethics
• �鶹��ý’s Code of Ethics for Suppliers
• �鶹��ý’s Security and Resilience Policy
• �鶹��ý’s Security Services with Integrity (SSI) Directive

and either:

Or any other recognized international best practices on security and human rights.

�鶹��ý has made long-term efforts to respect and promote the rights of people and children in our operations and supply chain. We accelerated this action in 2021 by further integrating child rights into �鶹��ý’s human rights approach and sustainable procurement systems. The 2021 End Child Labour Action Pledge on eliminating child labor and strengthening children’s rights builds on our existing commitment to respect human rights.

• Our commitments

We require all our cement sites to measure and manage air and other emissions. The vast majority of our plants operate within best practice emission ranges and some are among the best in the sector. We continue to make improvements across all sites. We have a program in place to address other sources of dust, such as surrounding roads. Its aim is to reduce fugitive emissions in all our plants, to preserve the local environment and minimize the impacts on the neighboring communities.

• Environment & emissions

�鶹��ý is reinventing how the world builds for people and the planet. We are accelerating green construction by signing the Business Ambition for 1.5° C with science-based targets.
