“At ACC, we recognise our
responsibility to contribute to a greener tomorrow. Building on the success of ECOPact in global markets by our parent
company LafargeHolcim, ACC has introduced ECOPact, the industry’s broadest range of green concrete for the first time in India. The
world class manufacturing process of the ECOPact range reduces CO2 emissions with the remaining process-related
CO2
emissions compensated through offsets to reach full carbon neutrality. ECOPact
further enhances our sustainable products offerings for the construction
industry. With our ECOPact products, we want to give our customers a choice to
significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the entire building,” said Mr. Sridhar
Balakrishnan, MD & CEO, ACC Limited.
ECOPact is a global green
concrete brand introduced worldwide by LafargeHolcim. ECOPact is sold at a
range of low carbon levels, from 30% to 100% less carbon emissions compared to
standard (CEM I) concrete. Introduced in 2020, ECOPact has been adopted across
16 markets worldwide to date. The brand is present in markets like the US, the
UK, Canada, India, Germany, and Latin America.
The introduction of
ECOPact products is an essential component of ACC’s strategy to advance the transition towards
low-carbon and circular construction. The Company has been consistently
focusing on increasing the range of sustainable solutions. Expanding that range
of products and solutions is also part of its Parent Company LafargeHolcim’s 2030 commitment as it continues its

concretes.

external or internal walls, driveways, walkways etc. ECOPact concretes can be
