Heidelberg Cement has underlined its commitment to the environment with the launch of a new carbon neutral initiative for customers in Benelux. Under the new CO2 offsetting scheme, Heidelberg will purchase CO2 credits to give its customers in the Benelux countries a way to “offset” the emissions related to the construction of a building or infrastructure.
The company has said that investment will be in projects, which comply with the strictest environmental standards and with a particular focus on renewable energy like wind, solar or biomass.
This offset system is the first of this type to be launched by the company and Heidelberg has said that it can easily be introduced to all markets where it operates.
