As Miljan Gutovic, CEO of Holcim, puts it, 'Building Icons is... sparking a shift in the built environment that answers the question: What kind of world do you want to live in?' Holcim is defining sustainability not just through projects, but through a broader vision that interlinks the environment and community well-being. This perspective drives their commitment towards circular construction, aligning business with the necessity of sustainable development.
In Melbourne, Australia, Holcim's Metro Tunnel project stands as a remarkable example of innovation in sustainable building, demonstrated by its use of ECOPact low-carbon concrete. Achieving a 52% reduction in embodied carbon, this project illustrates how bespoke concrete mix designs can significantly lower environmental impact while addressing the pressing need for urban infrastructure amidst rising populations.
Holcim's portfolio of 'Building Icons' aims to mobilize the entire building value chain to foster sustainable building practices. Each project, whether London’s Wood Wharf or The Ellinikon, serves as a benchmark for circular construction that thrives within ecosystems, ultimately enhancing community environments and promoting quality of life for current and future generations.
