At EU level, the European Commission has taken many climate-related initiatives over the past two decades. This section of the website covers current areas of work which are of notable importance to the European cement industry. On the one hand, the cement industry is a key player in the reduction of, in particular, CO2 emissions. On the other, it can contribute, though its downstream products (concrete) towards helping society adapt to climate change.

This section covers all aspects of the work currently undertaken by CEMBUREAU within the field of sustainable construction.

The Alliance for a Competitive European Industry (ACEI) was formed in 2004 by 11 major European industry sector associations and BUSINESSEUROPE. The common objective of its Members is to promote the competitiveness of European industry on a global scale. The Alliance therefore encourages a policy and regulatory framework that supports that objective, reinforcing and complementing BUSINESSEUROPE’s work in this respect by providing a sectoral perspective.
