Votorantim Cimentos has just signed up to MWCC (Madrid World Capital). This alliance reinforces the commitment of both entities to innovation, sustainability and the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly infrastructures.

The adhesion of Votorantim Cimentos to MWCC is a strategic step to strengthen the construction ecosystem in Spain, promoting initiatives that foster the circular economy, energy efficiency and the reduction of the carbon footprint in the sector and positioning it as a centre of international reference in education, training and R+D+I.

With this union, Votorantim Cimentos joins a strategic collaboration platform that already has some of the most influential companies and institutions in the sector, consolidating MWCC as an international benchmark in urban solutions.

This is a further step by the company to deepen its strategy of sustainable development and decarbonisation of its activity, allying itself with other institutions to join forces. In fact, it is a founding member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, from where it works together with the Global Cement and Concrete Association to develop technology and solutions focused on reducing the carbon footprint.

Committed to combating the effects of climate change, Votorantim Cimentos has a strategy based on four pillars: investments in energy efficiency, use of alternative fuels, incorporation of new technologies for the use, storage and capture of CO2 and manufacture of low-carbon cements.
