I had the pleasure of speaking at the Second European Process Industry Conference of A.SPIRE, where I participated in the session on “Process Industry Sectors Dialogue: A Clean Industry for Different Regional Realities.” It was an honor to share the stage with Marit Dolmen, Director of Process Development at ELKEM; Koen Coppenholle, CEO of CEMBUREAU; Małgosia Rybak, EMBA, Climate Change and Energy Director at CEPI; and Dorota Pawlucka, Global Alliances Manager at COVESTRO. Together, we discussed the challenges and opportunities facing the industry in Europe within the context of the industrial deal. During the session, I emphasized several critical points for achieving a sustainable industrial footprint in Europe: ✅ Elevating competitiveness as a strategic priority: We need to create conditions for a strong business case in Europe, including the affordability and availability of green electricity. Additionally, boosting demand for green products is essential to move technical solutions from the innovation stage to deployment. ✅ Government involvement in CCS infrastructure: It’s crucial for governments to take a larger role in creating an action plan to implement world-class carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure. This will ensure that hard-to-abate industries have access to CO2 networks and storage. ✅ Simplifying the legislative framework: We must focus on accelerating the transition to a climate-neutral society by simplifying legislation. This means prioritizing actionable steps over extensive reporting.   #ClimateNeutrality, #goforzero, #togetherwecanmakeadifference, #keepitsimple, #greendeal

I had the pleasure of delivering a keynote speech on Safety at the 2024 International Lime Association (ILA) Symposium in Oslo, Norway, followed by a panel discussion. This was a great opportunity to engage and exchange with participating lime players on an area where I believe we can further improve as an Industry. Nobody should risk getting hurt doing their job. I am confident that my call for an intensified sharing of best practices on Safety across the Industry will resonate with participants. #Carmeuse  #ILA #wecommittozeroinjuries

Carmeuse is proud to announce the acquisition of 2,300 hectares of land in the region of Formiga and neighboring cities in Brazil, another step in our journey towards #decarbonization and carbon neutrality by 2050. This significant purchase, finalized in August 2024, aligns seamlessly with our business strategy focused on reducing CO2 emissions and ensuring #sustainability. The use of #biomass reduces CO2 emissions by 30% compared to the use of fossil fuels. Furthermore, for each hectare of planted forest, Carmeuse will capture approximately 260 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere and the forestry assets acquired have a fixed carbon stock of 306 thousand tons.

Recently, Carmeuse Mauritania hosted a workshop on nutrition in collaboration with the Departmental Inspection of Nouakchott South. Led by Nutriconseil, the workshop aimed to educate attendees on the importance of proper nutrition and its impact on health. Participants engaged in interactive sessions, learning about balanced diets, the benefits of various food groups, and practical tips for healthy eating. Nutriconseil’s experts provided invaluable insights into the consequences of poor dietary habits, such as diabetes. Representatives from SOS Diabète Mauritanie highlighted the rising prevalence of diabetes and emphasized early detection and management through proper diet and lifestyle changes. The interactive nature of the workshop encouraged active participation, making it a truly enriching experience for all involved. We are proud of this initiative and its potential to make a lasting impact on our community's health and well-being. #CarmeuseOverseas #community #Sustainability

This summer, Carmeuse Ghana united the students and staff of Essipun School and STMA Basic School in Takoradi, Ghana, for a cause that benefits our planet's future. Together, we planted 300 trees around the school premises. This initiative was part of the broader Green Ghana Day, with the Ghana Forestry Commission playing a pivotal role by generously supplying the trees. The event was a great educational experience for the students, who learned about the importance of trees in supporting life on Earth. We extend our gratitude to everyone involved, especially the Ghana Forestry Commission for their support. #Sustainability #CarmeuseOverseas #WeContributeToABetterWorld
