Today, taking steps to advance a climate-neutral existence is no longer an option in the construction industry. With nearly 40 percent of our world’s CO2 emissions linked to the way we build and operate buildings—and 30 percent of this footprint happening at the building phase—our industry has a responsibility to implement solutions that can make the significant impact required to help bring us out of a global environmental crisis. 

With the vision of leading the way to net-zero construction, Holcim developed ECOPact​ low-carbon concrete​, combining innovative design with extensive research and development. Offering the industry’s broadest range of​ low-carbon​ concrete products, ECOPact delivers the low-carbon concrete solution our world needs, without compromising on the performance our industry demand.
