The dialogue with local communities is also maintained through events organised twice a year, since 2011. With the aim of creating an initiative group consisting of the local communities’ representatives, the community advisory council “Sfatul Bătrânilor” brought together more than 50 participants in the 2019 editions in Tașca, Chișcădaga and Fieni. Each of these meetings is an effective way of identifying, together with local community representatives, the most pressing issues they face and the existing opportunities that should be addressed. At the same time, the meetings are an extremely important source of feedback for the company, allowing us to constantly review and improve our activity.

OUR LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Environmental protection is one of the fundamental priorities of HeidelbergCement Romania’s sustainable development strategy. We are aware that our activity has an impact on the environment, which is why we are constantly investing in equipment and technologies that aim to reduce and minimise the environmental impact we have. Continuous monitoring of environmental indicators and access to real-time data are key tools of our decision-making process. All projects, measures and initiatives implemented at company level are strictly linked to the sustainability commitments we took, to conserve natural resources and ecosystems, to improve our energy efficiency and fight climate change. Thus, between 1998 and 2019, the total value of the environmental investments directed towards our cement plants exceeded 48 million euro.
