London (September 1, 2020), 40 leading cement and concrete companies around the world jointly released the "Cement and Concrete Industry 2050 Climate Goal Statement", indicating that the global cement and concrete industry is committed to reducing the consumption of concrete, the most commonly used man-made material. carbon footprint and work towards a carbon neutral global concrete target by 2050.

Cao Jianglin, General Manager of China National Building Materials Group:

The cement and concrete industry, as a vital part of the construction field, accounts for 13% of the global GDP, provides basic materials and supports the sustainable development of the global economy, society and environment.

The founding members of the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) include China National Building Materials Group (CNBM), CEMEX Group (CEMEX), Old Castle Group (CRH), Dangote Group (Dangote), European Cement Group (Eurocement), HeidelbergCement, LafargeHolcim, Taiheiyo and Votorantim, among others.

As the largest cement and commercial concrete manufacturer in China, China National Building Material Group supports GCCA's "Cement and Concrete Industry 2050 Climate Goal Statement", and has been committed to sustainable development and addressing climate change, using 150 million tons of industrial waste to replace raw materials every year, All cement production lines are equipped with waste heat power generation systems, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 6 million tons per year. CNBM will continue its efforts to actively respond to the environmental challenges of climate change.

The "Statement", issued by GCCA on behalf of all members, is the first time the industry has issued a global joint statement on the future of concrete carbon neutrality, which is a milestone for the industry. The "Statement" specifies the necessary means to achieve carbon neutrality in concrete, including reducing or even eliminating energy emissions, reducing emissions in the production process through new technologies and carbon capture technologies, using concrete more efficiently, recycling concrete building materials, and improving The ability of concrete to absorb and store carbon from the atmosphere, etc.

Building on the long-term climate commitments and sustainability of GCCA members and affiliated organisations, the Statement sets a global vision for the long-term sustainability of concrete, an important building material that has shaped the modern world.

伦敦（2020年9月1日），全球40家水泥和混凝土龙头企业共同发布了《水泥和混凝土行业2050气候目标声明》，表明全球水泥和混凝土行业，正致力于降低最常用的人造材料混凝土的碳足迹，并致力于在2050年实现全球混凝土的碳中和目标。

中国建材集团总经理曹江林：

水泥和混凝土行业作为建筑领域至关重要的一部分，占据全球GDP的13%，提供了基础材料，支撑了全球经济、社会以及环境的可持续发展。

全球水泥和混凝土（GCCA）协会的创始成员单位包括中国建材集团(CNBM)、西麦斯集团(CEMEX)、老城堡集团(CRH)、丹格特集团(Dangote)、欧洲水泥集团(Eurocement)、海德堡水泥集团(HeidelbergCement)、拉法基豪瑞集团(LafargeHolcim)、太平洋水泥公司(Taiheiyo)和沃托兰廷(Votorantim)等。

中国建材集团作为国内最大的水泥和商品混凝土生产商，支持GCCA《水泥和混凝土行业2050气候目标声明》，同时一直致力于可持续发展和应对气候变化，每年使用1.5亿吨工业废弃物替代原材料，为水泥生产线全部配套余热发电系统，每年减排二氧化碳约600万吨。中国建材集团将继续努力，积极应对气候变化对环境的挑战。

该《声明》由GCCA代表全体会员发布，是该行业首次就混凝土碳中和的未来发表全球共同声明，具有行业里程碑式的意义。《声明》中具体阐述了实现混凝土碳中和的必要手段，包括减少乃至消除能源排放、通过新科技和碳捕捉技术减少生产过程中的排放、更高效地利用混凝土、循环利用混凝土建筑材料以及提升混凝土从大气中吸收储存碳的能力等。

《声明》以GCCA会员及附属组织的长期气候承诺和可持续性发展为基础，为混凝土这个塑造了现代世界的重要建筑材料的长期可持续发展设定了全球愿景。
