When less is more 

For our advanced generation of products, we use a fibre cement density that reduces CO2 levels – fit for our purpose for facade applications in European climate conditions. By optimizing production, we aim to reduce scope 1 (direct) and scope 2 (indirect) emissions globally by 42 % by 2030* and working towards a net zero by 2050. Our low-carbon cement technology roadmap sets the path to reach our ambitious targets for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of our fibre cement products by at least 50 % by 2030.
