02 October 2023

UK: Germany-based Heidelberg Materials has introduced customers and investors to Heidelberg
Materials UK, its UK subsidiary formerly known as Hanson UK. The latest rebrand signifies
increasing collaboration across the group’s geographies as a global business with one voice.

early 2024 and transition its branding across its sites and vehicles by October 2025.

Heidelberg Materials UK CEO Simon Willis said “The construction sector faces global challenges
such as climate change and the digitalisation of our industry; challenges we are better placed to
meet as a strong, united group. Having a single brand name and identity sends a clear and
consistent message to our increasingly global customers.” Willis added “It will allow us to work
together to lead the field in driving down carbon emissions; promote the circular economy by
recycling and reusing construction waste; develop digital solutions to provide added value to our
customers and develop sustainable and innovative building materials.”

Cemex achieves environmental impact labelling coverage across main

products in its most important markets

21 September 2023

Mexico: Cemex said that it has successfully implemented labelling showing the environmental
impacts of all of its main products across its ‘most important markets.’ Depending on prevailing
practices in each market, products’ packaging either displays an Environmental Product
Declaration (EPD) or Cemex’s own third-party validated CERO2 designation.

General director Fernando González Olivieri said “We are committed to being the leading partner
in sustainable construction for our clients. In this way, our clients have environmental impact
information that they can use to develop sustainable construction.” He added “We continue to
expand our portfolio of sustainable products, allowing our clients to effectively design and
manage the carbon footprint of their construction projects.”

Europe: The Environmental Coalition on Standards (ECOS) has welcomed the EU’s new India Lafarge
Empowering Consumers Directive. Under the directive, EU member states must enact laws LafargeHolcim
preventing companies from labelling their products with climate claims based on offsetting. ECOS Mexico Nigeria Pakistan
called the law a ‘significant measure against greenwashing.’ It called on the EU to further ensure
that products neither rely on carbon credits, nor on contributions to sustainability projects, in
Plant
calculating their impacts.

ECOS programme manager Elisa Martellucci said “The EU has taken aim at greenwashing.

they rely on flawed carbon accounting practices that ‘write off’ greenhouse gas emissions. The
amazing carbon emissions vanishing act is many companies’ dream – but emissions do not
magically disappear. Policymakers have taken a strong stance against this deceptive practice.”

Austria: RHI Magnesita’s customers can now rely on Environmental Indicators on all of its
products’ Technical Data Sheets to check their CO2 emissions. The indicators state the CO2
equivalent emissions per tonne of each product. The supplier calculated the figures in line with
ISO standards under on-going external supervision.

Chief sustainability officer Gustavo Franco said “One of RHI Magnesita’s main targets is to
significantly reduce emissions over the next few decades, with the long-term goal of achieving
net-zero operations in all areas of the company. It is clear that a solid basis for sustainable
decisions and developments can only be achieved by creating a valid audited database.”

PhilCement agrees to government’s cement labelling rules

10 November 2020

Philippines: Phinma Group subsidiary PhilCement has committed to the adoption of the
Department of Trade and Industry’s new labelling regulations for cement. The Manila Bulletin
newspaper has reported that the producer agreed to cooperate with the department in the
interests of the country’s construction materials’ quality and stability. This followed on from a
deadlock when the department suspended cement bag printing to ensure than no new cement
bags marked ‘Product of the Philippines’ were able to enter circulation containing imported
cement.

In a joint statement, Phinma Group and the Department of Trade and Industry said, “DTI and
Phinma Group are in full agreement that this clarity in labelling conventions would help
consumers in selecting and deciding on the cement products they prefer. This will also strengthen
the country’s ability to support and patronise locally manufactured products.” The department also
reiterated its commitment to ensuring that all cement producers uphold consumer welfare by
supplying affordable cement.

Cement packaging in Mozambique to include expiry date

20 November 2018

Mozambique: The National Inspectorate of Economic Activities (INAE) says that all cement
producers must include an expiry date on cement packaging. The decision follows a study looking
at the production, labelling, sale and transport of cement, according to the Mozambique News
Agency. The ruling applies to both locally produced and imported cement.

INAE has requested that any cement should be sold at least three weeks prior to its expiry date. It
is intended to give consumers consistent information about the date of production, the type of
cement, the quality and the price. The central government agency is also hosting talks with local
government to help provide warehouse space to distributors and retailers selling cement. It aims
to stop the sale of cement on the street.
