 "Our commitment to sustainability is growing. It is growing because it enhances our competitiveness in the market, but fundamentally it is growing because we believe that companies play a key role in the development of society and common welfare. The most influential players in our economies have a duty to listen with equal attention to the needs expressed by communities from rich and less rich parts of the world. They also have a duty to pay attention to the international scientific community’s assessments of the state of the planet.Italcementi chose a long time ago to take this path, and seeks to be increasingly proactive in pursuing its goals. That is why this year we have inaugurated a new forum for discussion that sits alongside our Sustainable Development Report and is a place entirely devoted to our vision of the future. Our sdReport is now dedicated entirely to the analysis of the Group’s economic, environmental and social performance and objectives; next to this our sdVision is the ground in which we plant sustainability’s new seeds. sdVision plays host to many different values and cultures which, put together, can help to build a better future through dialogue. It is a place where “diversity” is seen as a “shared capital”.Among the many important recipients of this message, we would like most of all to reach out the younger readers, in an effort and desire to lead them to new awareness and active involvement in all that concerns the care of our planet."
