The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) unveiled a new initiative and category of membership – Net Zero Value Chain Partners (NZVCP) – to support and help deliver the industry’s net zero mission.
With a membership that extends beyond cement and concrete manufacturers alone, the NZVCP initiative is for organizations in the wider building value chain, such as equipment suppliers, admixture companies, industrial infrastructure partners for carbon capture, utilization and storage, and other solutions providers, to share expertise, innovation and ideas, and key engagement to help decarbonize the industry.
“Our industry is fully committed to reaching net zero, and we are working hard to drive progress. However, we know we cannot achieve it alone and need the support, expertise, and partnerships across our value chain. That’s why we have created a new engagement structure to work closer with organizations who are also committed to building a net-zero future,” said Dominik von Achten, GGCA president and chairman of the managing board of Heidelberg Materials.
Value chain companies will partner with the GCCA’s 50 cement and concrete producers, participating in activities, working groups, key events and programs, and deepening collaboration across the industry to help decarbonize cement and concrete, the world’s most used material after water.
The association’s first NZVCPs are CDE, KHD, Master Builders Solutions, Saint-Gobain, Schneider Electric and Sinoma International.
