• HOLCIM’S NORTH AMERICAN VALUATION IS BASED ON A CRACKED FOUNDATION.

    With its North American spinoff set for early 2025, Holcim is seeking one of the largest construction industry listings in recent history — but the cement company’s purported $30 billion price tag does not measure up against its track record, and could prove to be a risky investment.

  • HOLCIM'S CRACKED FOUNDATION

    Major pollution liabilities across Holcim’s U.S. and Canadian facilities hang over the company’s potential $30 billion spinoff with an IPO.

  • HOW HOLCIM CAN MAKE CONCRETE CHANGE

    Holcim must demonstrate commitment through a clear, innovative plan with the transparency shareholders deserve and the urgency the climate demands.

INVESTORS SHOULD BE WARY OF HOLCIM’S HIDDEN LIABILITIES:


  • GROWING LIABILITIES

    Holcim's repeated air quality, water, and environmental violations across its 13 U.S. plants add avoidable risk to investors.

  • INCREASING COSTS

    Holcim's aging, outdated U.S. facilities are far behind its competitors on cleaner cement investments — and face massive costs to catch up.

  • MARKET LOSS

    Holcim's insufficient climate commitments risk ceding the burgeoning U.S. market for low-carbon cement to its competitors.

  • LACK OF TRANSPARENCY

    Holcim has failed to measurably show any progress reducing emissions at its U.S. facilities, keeping investors in the dark.

Holcim’s Failing Grade on Climate

As Holcim prepares to spin off its North American facilities on the New York Stock Exchange, the company’s poor track record on climate may well make it a risky investment for shareholders. 

The company has failed to show measurable progress on reducing the emissions intensity of its U.S. plants. Further, while competitors scale up technologies to produce low-carbon cement in North America, Holcim’s reliance on outdated practices could become a liability for new investors.
