PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE FUTURE
Community projects In addition to the activities we carry out and the contribution we bring to the Romanian economy, we want our presence in Romania to bring a plus for the communities that host our activity. Thus, in addition to the openness and dialogue that we constantly maintain with representatives of the local communities, it is our responsibility to contribute to the development of the areas where we are present, working with our non-governmental partners to address the main problems and needs identified in the community. Thus, our community investments and the projects we implement are based on three key priority areas, as described in the HeidelbergCement Corporate Citizenship Policy: Environmental protection - our operations rely on the use of natural resources and quarrying also has an impact on the environment. That is why we focus on reducing the impact of mining, production and distribution operations, and work with our partners to conserve and protect the environment, focusing on climate and biodiversity actions. We invest in specific sustainable land management projects in the vicinity of our sites, which contribute to positive environmental change and increase local community well-being and awareness. We support organisations and projects that improve people’s knowledge of ecology and increase their awareness of natural diversity at our sites. Construction, architecture, infrastructure - Building materials and construction services contribute to the well-being of society and improve people’ quality of life. When called upon to help, we do our part in building construction and infrastructure development that benefits society, providing
our partners with products, expertise, time, and financial support. We also support architectural concepts that incorporate innovative elements and encourage dialogue in the construction industry.
