Holcim Mexico™ Takes Major Step in Sustainability with Climate Earth’s EPD Generator™ Going Live
Holcim Mexico is leading the charge in sustainability with the launch of its groundbreaking EPD Generator, setting a new standard for the Mexican concrete industry.
“At Holcim, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. This tool not only positions us at the forefront, but also provides our customers with unprecedented transparency,” said Mónica Fernández, Concrete and Aggregates Director at Holcim Mexico.
A Growing Focus on EPDs in Mexico
The adoption of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in Mexico has been gradual, hindered by a lack of widespread awareness and resources. However, as one of the fastest-growing markets in Latin America, Mexico faces mounting pressure from international clients demanding sustainability compliance.
Many companies struggle with the complexities of EPDs, from data collection to verification, which can feel like navigating a labyrinth. Limited access to technology and expertise means that many businesses are left behind in this crucial aspect of modern construction practices.
Holcim Mexico Breaks Barriers
Holcim partnered with Climate Earth to dismantle these barriers. Our EPD Generator simplifies the process, allowing Holcim to auto-verify EPDs for any concrete mix in real-time, eliminating the cumbersome manual data gathering that has plagued the industry.
“Working with Climate Earth has been transformational. The efficiency and ease of the platform allows us to not only meet our sustainability goals, but to lead change across the industry,” said Ibette Sosa, Environmental Manager.
Chris Erickson, CEO of Climate Earth, emphasizes the broader implications: “Our goal is to empower companies like Holcim to simplify EPD generation, enabling them to meet sustainability objectives while enhancing transparency. We take pride in supporting Holcim’s leadership in sustainability within the Mexican market.”
The Impact of EPDs for Holcim Mexico
The launch of the EPD Generator has transformed Holcim Mexico’s ability to deliver environmentally responsible concrete products. By streamlining the verification process, Holcim not only saves time but also ensures that their offerings meet stringent global standards, bolstering customer confidence.
“The ability to instantly generate self-verified EPDs is a game changer for our industry. This advancement not only allows us to better serve our customers, but also to ensure that our products meet the sustainability standards required in both domestic and international projects,” said Pedro Garza, RMX Manager for Northern Mexico at Holcim México.
Leading the Way in Mexico’s Sustainability Future
With this pioneering initiative, Holcim Mexico is setting an industry benchmark. The EPD Generator not only advances Holcim’s sustainability goals but also serves as a catalyst for change across the concrete sector in Mexico.
“By collaborating with Climate Earth, we are driving positive change throughout the industry, and this launch reflects our unwavering commitment to a sustainable future, not only in Mexico, but globally,” added Laura Herrera, Environmental Coordinator at Holcim Mexico.
As Mexico leans into sustainable construction practices, the collaboration between Holcim and Climate Earth signifies a shift towards a greener, more transparent future in the Mexican concrete sector.
