LafargeHolcim joins MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium as founding member
LafargeHolcim joins the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) as a founding member, representing the building materials industry, to accelerate climate action through innovation. The company joins a range of influential other sector leaders to work with MIT’s world-class research teams to develop scalable solutions to tackle climate change.
The MCSC is led by the MIT School of Engineering and will engage students, faculty, and researchers from across the entire Institute. MCSC members will work to accelerate large-scale, real-world solutions that address the threat of climate change. The goals of the MCSC include climate change mitigation, lowering barriers to technology adoption, speeding the retirement of carbon-intensive activities, directing investment where it will be most effective, and rapidly translating best practices across industries. Joining this consortium is another step in LafargeHolcim’s commitment to build a net zero future as a global leader in innovative and sustainable building materials and solutions. Taking a rigorous science-driven approach to climate action, LafargeHolcim pledged to become a net zero company, partnering with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is setting the first net zero roadmap in the cement industry, building on its 2030 SBTi-validated climate targets.
