Industry: Active partners in the fight for climate protection
Policy on climate change is a topic of intense debate, both in political circles and in society as a whole. It has also been a key theme in the Swiss cement industry for decades. Cement manufacturers are reducing their emissions across the board wherever technically and economically possible. By as early as 2002, cemsuisse had already concluded an agreement with the federal government aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and has since continued to more than exceed its targets. Without the efforts of the cement industry, Switzerland would never have been able to meet the goals set for it by the Kyoto protocol.
