Business, financial and sustainability highlights

Italcementi Group

Our core industryItalcementi Group is focused on three main product lines: cement, aggregates and concrete.

The Group aims to optimize production across all of our markets, providing a complete solution for

customers needs at the lowest possible cost, strategically integrating its activities.

Cement is made from a mixture of 80% limestone and 20% clay. These are

crushed and ground to provide the "raw meal”, a pale, flour-like powder. Heated

to around 1450° C (2642° F) in rotating kilns, the “meal” undergoes complex

chemical changes and is transformed into clinker. Fine-grinding the clinker

together with a small quantity of gypsum produces cement. Adding other

constituents at this stage produces cements for specialized uses.

Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, water, admixtures and additions

based on formulas that conform to predetermined strict technical specifications.

Concrete is either mixed on the building site or delivered "ready-mixed" by

specialized suppliers.

Aggregates are made from sand and gravel extracted from

quarries. Around 60 % of aggregates are used in road

construction. The remainder is used to produce concrete.

Italcementi Group

What is cement used for?

Safe, comfortable, environmentally friendly, cheap and efficient buildings

from the energy point of view.

Cement meets construction requirements to satisfy the life needs of the entire

community: houses, schools, hospitals, offices, cinemas, shops and sports centers.

Cement is the most widely used construction material in the world.

Large infrastructural projects.

Roads and highways, dams, ports and airports that require high performance and

technological cements able to keep their properties over time and also resist natural

phenomena.

Valuable architectural works.

Italcementi’s innovative products have enabled famous architects to build works that are

globally recognized such as the Church Dives in Misericordia in Rome and the Italian

Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo.

Italcementi Group

Corporate GovernanceItalcementi Group considers the adoption of good rules of Governance as the real lever to achieve

efficiency, transparency, appropriate management and control efficacy.

The Group’s business growth is therefore accompanied by an ever greater focus on Corporate

Governance, which, in its organisation, stands for business ethics together with the creation of

value in a context of sustainable development.

The Group succeeded in establishing a well defined decision making structure, together with all

relevant bodies, leading to the listing of a series of ethical as well as more typically managerial rules,

principles and behaviours that must be applied in all Group companies.

Also the adoption of a consistent system of policies, organized procedures

and behaviours complying with local legislations and best practices, was

an action successfully conducted with the aim of establishing transparency

and efficiency in decisional and operational activities.

Our progress in this area reached an important milestone in 2006

with the presentation of the Italcementi Group Charter of Values,

a document that sets out the fundamental principles of the Italcementi

engagements in Corporate Governance and the goals of the

Group’s Sustainable Development strategy, presenting them

as a cohesive whole.

industry to Sustainable Development policies. The agreement was signed by ten major cement

and boosting the production of energy from renewable sources.

2010: Italcementi Group has adhered to the Global Compact, the United Nations initiative set up to

safeguard the social and environmental sustainability of economic growth processes. It is based on 10

universal principles in terms of human rights, work, environmental protection, corruption fighting.
