ENVIRONMENT

Environmental protection is a fundamental principle in the company’s operations. HeidelbergCement Romania’s local activities are carried out in strict compliance with national environmental regulations, the requirements of which are expressed in the Integrated Environmental Authorisation issued for each of the company’s sites (Fieni, Tasca and Chiscadaga). Beyond compliance with the relevant regulations, concrete approaches and activities are aligned with the 2030 Sustainability Commitments declared at Group level. A key direction in this document concerns environmental protection – emissions, water, land use.

The targets proposed as a result of the commitments have been improved and accelerated (Fast Track Targets) and their implementation is tracked at country level through the FTT Baseline and Target Setting platform which particularly targets progress in water reduction and reporting, the WASH Pledge (access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene), biodiversity management, used land renaturation and engaging local communities in these efforts.
