“GCP shares WCA’s commitment to supporting cement and concrete producers around the world to achieve net zero emissions, which is a major priority for our members. With GCP’s recent integration into the Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals family, we look forward to further exploring and expanding the role that these technologies can have in reducing the environmental impact of the construction sector,” said Ian Riley, CEO of WCA.
Riccardo Stoppa, Cement BU deputy director – Saint-Gobain Construction chemicals, added, “We are delighted to be collaborating with WCA and sharing our knowledge and expertise with its members and the cement and concrete sector. By working together, we hope to provide meaningful solutions and draw closer to reducing the sector’s high carbon footprint, a critical challenge for the hard-to-abate industry.”
