Sustainability driving profitable growth

SUSTAINABILITY DRIVING PROFITABLE GROWTH

We’ve built our sustainability plan around four focus areas to strengthen �鶹��ý’s leadership in sustainable construction.

1.SCALING OUR SUSTAINABLE OFFERING

We’re scaling our sustainable offering, including ECOPact and ECOPlanet, to meet our customers’ most ambitious goals.

�鶹��ý has a 2030 target to reach over 50% of net sales from ECOPact in ready-mix concrete, and over 50% of net sales from ECOPlanet in cement.

In 2025, ECOPact had a 31% share of ready-mix concrete net sales (+5 pp versus 2024) while ECOPlanet had a 36% share of cement net sales (+2 pp versus 2024).

Our sustainable offering is tailored to customer demand and powered by premium brands that are circular, low-carbon, resilient, energy-efficient, and smart.

¹ECOPact and ECOPlanet offers 30% lower CO₂ emissions compared to ordinary (CEM I/OPC) concrete and cement.

Note: All 2020 baselines have been restated for discontinued operations.
¹Defined as products and solutions with ECOCycle inside containing at least 10% construction demolition materials.

2. ADVANCING CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION

�鶹��ý is accelerating profitable growth in circular construction by increasing our construction demolition materials (CDM) volumes using our ECOCycle technology.

In 2025, we recycled more than 8 million tons of CDM (+23% versus 2024), and are targeting more than 20 million tons by 2030.

Scaling this technology in metropolitan areas, we can build cities from cities, creating high-value solutions that save valuable primary raw materials, minimize waste, and drive profitable growth.

3. INNOVATION ACCELERATING DECARBONIZING

Innovation is accelerating decarbonization for �鶹��ý, and we aim to reduce Scope 1 emissions to below 400 kg CO₂ net per ton of cementitious materials by 2030.

To achieve this, we’re focusing on three levers:

Formulation: Developing cement and concrete mixtures with a lower clinker content and increasing the use of alternative raw materials and binders.
Energy: Increasing the use of alternative fuels through our Geocycle business, investing in renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency in our operations.
Advanced technologies: Pioneering and scaling advanced technologies, with a focus on carbon capture.

In 2025, we reduced our Scope 1 emissions by 11% to 502 kg CO₂ net per ton of cementitious materials versus a restated 2020 baseline.^*

Note: 2020 baseline has been restated for discontinued operations and other material changes in scope.

4. BUILDING A NATURE-POSITIVE FUTURE

�鶹��ý is building a nature-positive future by bringing nature into cities, while reducing freshwater withdrawal by 33% in our operations by 2030 versus a 2020 baseline:

Water: Setting the industry’s most ambitious science-based freshwater reduction targets.
Biodiversity: Transformative rehabilitation measured by a science-based methodology developed with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Nature-positive solutions: Offering a wide range of solutions that bring nature into cities.

In 2025, we reduced our freshwater withdrawal by 25% to 179 liter/t of cementitious materials, versus a restated 2020 baseline.^*

�鶹��ý is targeting a freshwater withdrawal of 160 liter/t of cementitious materials by 2030.
