Continuing its industry award streak, Holcim US, received ten “Slag Cement in Sustainable Concrete Awards” from the Slag Cement Association (SCA). Holcim was recognized for its sustainable contributions to multiple projects at the SCA’s awards ceremony. The ceremony was held in conjunction with the Spring American Concrete Institute Convention in San Francisco.
“We’re proud that the Slag Cement Association has recognized our contributions to major projects with the Slag Cement in Sustainable Concrete Awards. From its use in city roads and infrastructure, to Amazon’s HQ2 and the ONE 22 One Office Tower, Holcim NewCem slag cements provide our customers with a low-carbon high performing cement product that support sustainability goals,” said Patrick Cleary, SVP, Cement Sales at Holcim US. “These awards underscore that we all have a role to play in driving sustainable building for future generations.”
