Magali Anderson, Chief Sustainability and Innovation Officer: 'ECOPlanet is emblematic of how we are committed to 
building a net-zero future. It is innovation-driven, pushing the boundaries of low-emission materials such as calcined 
clay. It is circular, using recycled materials to preserve nature. We make it even more climate-friendly with

around the world, from Germany to Canada, with no compromise in performance.' 
ECOPlanet adds to Holcim's leading range of green building solutions, aligned with the world's highest standards of 
sustainable building certifications from BREEAM to LEED. It builds on the success of ECOPact, the world's broadest
