Holcim Argentina publishes 2021 Sustainable Development Report

20 May 2022

Argentina: Holcim Argentina has published its 10th Sustainable Development Report, detailing its sustainability progress in 2021. That year, it reduced its CO2 emissions per tonne of cementitious material by 4.2% compared to 2017, to 505kg/t from 527kg/t. It sourced 43% of all electricity used in its operations renewably and achieved 8.4% alternative fuel (AF) substitution in its cement production. During the year, Holcim implemented ECO-labels to designate products with at least 30% CO2 emissions reduction.

Holcim Argentina’s CEO Christian Dedeu said “This decade of reports demonstrates our strong commitment to sustainability and governance that considers economic, social and environmental impacts. The conviction of the importance of reviewing performance and being accountable for our impacts made it possible.”

Livetouch Investments to build integrated cement plant

19 May 2022

Zimbabwe: Livetouch Investments plans to invest US$100m in the construction of an integrated cement plant. The Herald Zimbabwe newspaper has reported that the group plans to establish the new facility in phases, with the first phase costing US$15 – 20m. The phase will include the exploration of possible locations for the plant with suitable limestone resources, which could then also supply its Redcliff grinding plant. The grinding plant currently imports 4000t/yr of Zambian clinker and also buys raw materials from Lafarge Zimbabwe.

Managing director Kyle Wang said “We are still limited by the limestone resources in the country.” He said that the company has identified ‘good limestone deposits’ in Rushinga, Nyamapanda, Bulawayo and Masvingo, however “The problem with some of the limestone is the quality.”
