The two leading representative bodies of the global cement industry have signed a milestone agreement to help accelerate the sector's decarbonisation worldwide.
China Cement Association (CCA), representing more than 50 % of the world’s cement production and the Global Cement and Concrete Association, whose members account for 80 % of cement production capacity outside of China, have signed a partnership pledge.
The pledge includes an agreement to work together on sustainability and the low-carbon development of the cement and concrete industry.
The agreement will also see the development and launch of a whole-value chain China Cement Carbon Neutrality Roadmap later this year, which will set out a commitment and pathway to fully decarbonise the cement industry in China. The GCCA, having launched a global net zero roadmap in 2021, will assist with its development.
The agreement formally covers the next three years of cooperation and provides a platform for wider communication and exchange.
