Today on behalf of @MineralProduct I attended a meeting with @Dan4Barnet Exchequer Secretary @hmtreasury along with colleagues from other energy intensive industries to discuss the CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) and its importance to help restore competitiveness
Today we were delighted to welcome @LabourSJ, UK Minister for Industry and @DrDianaCasey, Exec Director of Mineral Products Association to our Rugby Cement Plant for a Roundtable about barriers & potential policy solutions needed to decarbonise the UK's cement plants.
Today we are proudly celebrating 15 years of partnership with the RSPB. Fantastic discussions around how together we can impact the future of biodiversity and our vision for a nature positive future.

It was a real pleasure welcoming you @rach_hopkins to our Kensworth Quarry.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Kensworth's vital role in supplying the UK with lower-carbon cement and concrete, and supporting our global biodiversity strategy.

Our Industrial Policy Director @VandermeerRob outlined priorities for industrial #decarbonisation at the #BellonaClimateActionConference. A watertight #CBAM is key to:
🔹Align with EU ETS for a level playing field
🔹Prevent fraud
🔹Protect exports from carbon leakage
#Cement2050
With the weather hotting up we'd like to remind everyone that quarries are not suitable places for swimming, no matter how tempting they might look ⛔. Quarry water is stone cold and can kill. Please #staysafe and enjoy the bank holiday weekend.

The CEO of @CEMEX and President of the GCCA, @Fernandogzz, addressed the #GCCAConference2024: “As leaders of this essential global industry, we know the importance of the role our materials play in building #sustainable and resilient communities, as well as the #infrastructure that our changing world will need in the following years. We have strong commitments and are already delivering the goal of building a more sustainable industry, and by working with governments, policymakers, built environment experts and other key players we have the opportunity to accelerate our progress in this important ‘decade to deliver’.”
He spoke alongside our GCCA CEO, Thomas Guillot, who welcomed our leaders and led our morning discussions.
We thank our association partner the Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) for their key contribution and warm welcome for this event.
