4 companies - 1 team: CI4C training week with focus on safety and construction progress 🏗️ 👥 During the second week of training, our CI4C team proved that it is not only the #catch4climate construction site that is making great progress, but also the team behind it. From 24 to 28 June, our colleagues underwent intensive training to familiarize themselves with the latest developments on the construction site and the technology used. The main focus was also on the safety-related aspects of the future plant. The training week therefore also included training as a “fire evacuation helper” and “first aider”. As the conditions in the new plant differ significantly from conventional cement plants, a further training phase will start in September to prepare the entire team in the best possible way.  The team, consisting of colleagues from all four partner companies, will work hand in hand in future to redefine cement production. This special form of collaboration will enable us to jointly develop innovative solutions for a climate-neutral future. #TeamworkForMoreSustainability 🌿🤝

The Dyckerhoff plant in Geseke has taken another important step in terms of energy efficiency and towards environmentally friendly and climate-neutral production. After 6 months of construction, the #ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) facility successfully went into trial operation. This is an innovative modular system that generates green electricity using previously unused waste heat from the clinker cooler. At the heart of this technology is a newly installed heat exchanger weighing around 50 tons, which transfers the waste heat to the ORC modules via a water circuit. These convert the heat at a lower temperature level than the classic steam turbine into electricity, which is used directly on site. If the plant is operated continuously, it is expected to produce over 1 million kWh of electricity per year, which corresponds to the annual consumption of around 250 4-person households. The energy generated purely from waste heat will also avoid around 900 tons of CO₂ per year. A DeCONOx system has been in operation at the same plant since 2019, which has significantly reduced emissions of NOx, CO and organic compounds. #Buzzi #Dyckerhoff #Gesekeplant

The new bank building in the center of Leipzig showcases concrete in its most diverse variations. Concrete was utilized extensively in the central areas both as cast-in-place concrete and as precast concrete elements: from the concrete columns of the spectacular “column garden” to the polished terrazzo floor or the polished cast stone stairs. Dyckerhoff WEISSE concrete was selected to create the stairs and the 251 columns (each 21 meters high), while Dyckerhoff TERRAPLAN was chosen to create the flooring over a surface area of more than 2,500 m², resulting in polished concrete.

Dyckerhoff Polska has achieved Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Dyckerhoff EKO and Dyckerhoff EKO Plus concretes, produced in Warsaw. EPDs provide detailed information on the environmental impact of our products throughout their life cycle, enabling customers to make informed, evidence-based decisions. This milestone highlights our commitment to the environment and promotes greater environmental awareness in the construction industry. #Buzzi #DyckerhoffPolska

We are proud to announce the launch of the CO₂ capture pilot project at our Monselice plant (Italy), in collaboration with Nuada. Nuada's technology, based on an electrically powered system that separates CO₂ from industrial flue gases using pressure instead of heat, promises to revolutionize carbon capture in the cement industry. This carbon capture plant is fully operational now, capturing 1 tonne of CO₂ per day from cement flue gas. This cutting-edge technology represents a significant step towards decarbonizing the cement industry and achieving our sustainability goals.

Being a good leader means never stopping learning, challenging yourself, and always offering a positive example to your colleagues. A tangible example of this philosophy are the Stockertown and the Festus plants, where Plant Managers and Supervisors have deepened their skills in effective communication, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and other leadership topics. Leading by example is the key to building an increasingly inclusive, empathetic, and supportive organizational culture. #Buzzi #BuzziUnicemUsa

A few months ago, ZAPA beton a.s., renowned for its concrete batching plants and fleet with memorable aesthetics, decided to let the talent and imagination of the children from the SOS Village of Brno - Medlánky guide the creation of the design of the new concrete mixer truck. The children, full of great ideas, drew many proposals for a new mix. After a long wait, the result is finally here: all the children's creations have been used to create an amazing design! Thank you to all the little artists for their creativity and their desire to join the company in this adventure. #Buzzi #Zapabeton

By the end of March 2024, Dyckerhoff and Dyckerhoff Beton GmbH & Co. KG renewed the Gold certifications for all seven German cement plants and ten German ready-mixed concrete plants after the three-year validity period expired. The #recertification was carried out by independent bodies based on extensive audits. The certified plants met the strict criteria for assessing environmental, management, social, economic, and supply chain performance, and demonstrated #responsibility in sourcing, production, and the implementation of technologies to improve #sustainability. Thus, Dyckerhoff reaffirms its commitment to sustainable cement and concrete production and inspires a collective movement towards more sustainable construction practices.

On World Environment Day, CEMBUREAU publishes a new leaflet showcasing the sector’s biodiversity initiatives, among which our “Prà da Smens” project.  Buzzi Unicem Italia is partnering with the Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences at the Università degli Studi di Torino to create a short supply chain of native herbaceous seeds with high biodiversity in Piedmont, Italy. These seeds, called 'seeds for preservation’ or 'native seeds of local origin', will be used for grass cover with anti-erosive, productive, and environmental purposes.

On May 21st, the Governor of Missouri Michael Parson visited Buzzi, along with his wife Teresa and a large delegation made up of senators and members of the administration, as part of an extensive trade mission in Italy. They were welcomed at the headquarters by Chairwoman Veronica Buzzi, CEO Pietro Buzzi, COO Dirk Beese and CTO Luigi Buzzi. In Missouri, the group has two important facilities, located in Cape Girardeau and Festus. This visit was an opportunity to illustrate the fruitful path of cooperation underway in the Midwest, where the company has been investing in infrastructure, technology and human capital for years, developing close ties with the local community in which it is fully integrated. #Buzzi #BuzziUnicemUsa
