Holcim
In Spain, we collaborate across the entire value chain to help shape the future of the construction sector, providing high-value materials and integrated solutions at every stage of the building process, from foundations to rooftops.
We are leading this transformation by working closely with key decision-makers, including public authorities, urban planners, architects, developers, and contractors.
Together, we are building the cities of tomorrow: sustainable, circular, resilient, and smart. Holcim offers solutions that support low-carbon construction through brands such as ECOPlanet cement, ECOPact concrete, as well as Hydromedia and Artevia. These solutions are supported by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), comply with LEED and BREEAM standards, and are already being used to create low-carbon cities.
The opportunity to build sustainably is rapidly expanding. One example is circular construction, where Holcim is already producing cement and concrete from demolition and construction materials through its ECOCycle® technology. This approach reduces the use of virgin raw materials, promotes the efficient use of local resources, and supports the vision of building new cities from existing ones.
