 Since 1864, the year of its foundation, Italcementi has oriented its actions towards product improvement and process optimisation, in a continuous search for best practices and business excellence. Its success has been built upon investment in scientific know-how, development of plants with best available technologies, personnel skills, technological leadership, and careful definition of long-term strategic goals. These are the characteristics that have allowed Italcementi Group to become a leading cement company.
The Group’s long-term industrial and economic aim is to increase and develop its business relying on three major strategic assets:
- efficient production and administration processes, continuously improved by renewing and extending its manufacturing structures and adopting operational best practices;
- growth and development of its market portfolio;
- research aimed at innovating products and applications.
In a global cement market characterised by limited energy resources, environmental constraints and political and social instability, long-term thinking requires the systematic integration of Sustainability criteria into decision making process and daily practices. As a result, Italcementi Group’s vision for growth hinges upon Sustainable Development, and its commitment to Sustainability is an integral, coherent and tangible component of its development plans.
In particular, the Group is committed to:
- integrating its strategies on industrial efficiency and innovation with those on climate protection, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources promoting the abatement of air emissions;
- linking its development in emerging markets (itself a positive source of value creation) with its values of equality, universal participation and guarantees of human rights, in recognition and promotion of local culture and traditions;
- conducting its business consistent with its adopted Corporate Governance systems and in a spirit of continuous dialogue with stakeholders.
