Brazil: Votorantim Cimentos has expanded its range of products backed by the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification to two cements produced in plants in the states of Paraná and Ceará, increasing the number of its products with EPD certification in Brazil to 17. In 2026, two new cement classes will receive certification from EPD Brasil: CP II-E 40 produced at the Pecém plant in Ceará and CP II-F 40 produced at the Rio Branco do Sul plant in Paraná. The producer also maintained EPD certifications for CP II-E 40, CP V ARI and CP III 40 RS cements produced at its Santa Helena plant in Votorantim, São Paulo.
EPDs provide third-party verified information on environmental impacts across the full product lifecycle, including energy, fuel and water consumption, logistics, waste management and transport.
