Holcim launches new corporate brand identity

08 July 2021

Switzerland: Holcim has unveiled its new corporate brand identity as part of the change in group name from LafargeHolcim. The new group logo consists of a white letter H, for Holcim, on a two-tone green and blue backdrop.

Chief executive officer Jan Jenisch said, “Our world is changing in many ways, with population growth, urbanisation and the climate challenge. We are determined to play our part to accelerate low-carbon and circular construction so that we build a net-zero future and raise living standards for everyone. Our new group identity sends a signal to the world that we are fully committed to building progress for people and the planet.”

Lafarge and Holcim merged in 2015 becoming LafargeHolcim. LafargeHolcim’s shareholders later voted to change the company’s name to Holcim in May 2021.
