Sustainability Report HeidelbergCement Romania 2019
COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS In addition to the activities we carry out and the contribution we make 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 we constantly have with representatives of local communities, we took the responsibility to contribute to the development of the areas in which we are present, trying together with our partners in the non-governmental sector to address the main problems and needs identified in the community. Thus, community investment and the projects we implement are based on three priority areas, as described by the HeidelbergCement Corporate Citizenship Policy:
environmental protection Our activity entails the use of natural resources and quarry exploitation has an environmental impact. That is why we focus on reducing the impact of exploitation, production and distribution, and together with our partners we strive to conserve and protect the environment, with an emphasis on actions regarding climate and biodiversity. We invest in specific sustainable land management projects in the vicinity of our operating locations, which contribute to positive environmental changes and increase the well-being and awarness of local communities. We support organisations and projects that improve people’s knowledge of ecology and strengthen citizens’ awareness of nature diversity at our operating locations.
construction, architecture, infrastructure Construction materials and services contribute to the well-being of society and to the improvement of citizens’ quality of life. When we are asked for help, we engage in buildings and infrastructure construction benefitting the society, providing our partners with products, expertise, time, and financial support. We also support architectural initiatives that incorporate innovative elements and encourage dialogue in the construction industry. 110
