The goal is to assure the long-term value and success of the company in the interests of all stakeholder groups: customers, shareholders, employees, creditors, suppliers and the communities where Holcim operates. Board of Directors Board of Directors Our Leadership Team Our Leadership Team Annual General Meeting Annual General Meeting Regulations and reports Regulations and reports [H2] Our corporate governance ensures integrity and long-term value Our Code of Ethics ensures that all directors, officers and employees share Holcim's commitment to conducting business with integrity, and provides guidance on how to put this commitment into practice. It also serves to ensure that we are adhering to the laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate. Of equal importance to Holcim is how our suppliers conduct their business in the marketplace. We strive to ensure all suppliers behave in accordance with principles set forth in the Holcim Supplier Code of Ethics, particularly when it comes to human rights, labor-related issues, the environment, anti-bribery and anti-corruption. Holcim corporate governance policies seek to ensure: Transparent and sustainable value creation by clearly delineating responsibilities, management processes and organizationContinuous monitoring of the Board of Directors’ performance and efficiencyAppropriate decision-making relating to policy principles and controls Articles of Incorporation - English Articles of Incorporation - German Our Code of Ethics Organizational Rules 2025 Governance & Risk Report 2025 Compensation Report Our Code of Ethics for Supplier X [H2] HOLCIM GOVERNANCE APPROACH FOR CLIMATE- and nature-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES The Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for strategy and overall governance of the company, including Holcim’s climate strategy. The Health, Safety & Sustainability Committee (HSSC) advises the Board of Directors on all matters related to sustainability, including those related to climate and nature. The HSSC reviews and approves the company’s climate-related plans and targets. The Committee consists of five members of the Board of Directors. The chairperson of the Board of Directors (unless a member of the HSSC), the Group CEO, Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), Head of Legal and Compliance, Head of Security and the Head of Health, Safety and Environment participate as standing guests. The committee meets at least quarterly. The Executive Committee is ultimately responsible for execution of the sustainability strategy, including climate and nature. Climate-related issues are managed on an operational level by the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), an Executive Committee-level position. The CSO is supported by a sustainability core team. The sustainability core team is a cross-disciplinary department responsible for developing and overseeing the deployment of Holcim’s sustainability strategy. The R&D team also plays a key role, with around 80% of resources at the Group’s Innovation Center in Lyon, France, dedicated to low-carbon and circular products.

QUICK LINKS 2025 Sustainability Statement Climate policy 2025 Climate Policy Engagement Report Accelerating sustainable building X [IMG: bild-karriere-nachhaltigkeit.jpg] Our net-zero journey Our net-zero targets are at the heart of our strategy. Transparency about our climate-related progress and performance is a key aspect of this process. [IMG: 014-low-celestiastudio.jpg.jpg] Net-zero enablers Our net-zero enablers are setting new standards for emissions reductions within our industry. Note: All 2030 and 2050 reductions are measured against the 2020 baseline. 2020 baselines have been restated for discontinued operations and other material changes in scope. [H2] OUR CLIMATE TARGETS Image [IMG: 2030-2050_net-zero_targets.png] Note: All 2030 and 2050 reductions are measured against the 2020 baselines which have been restated for material changes in scope. 1 Figures in table have been rounded to zero decimal places. [H3] Our SBTi targets aligned with 1.5°C Image [IMG: sbti_logo_white_background_3.png] In 2025, we restated our 2030 and 2050 science-based targets following the spin-off of Holcim’s North American business as Amrize. In doing so, we aligned the base year for all targets. Overall Net-Zero Target: Holcim commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050. Short-term targets: Holcim is committed to reducing gross Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 24.95% per ton of cementitious materials by 2030 compared to the 2020 base year. This is equivalent to a 21% reduction in absolute emissions within the same timeframe. By 2030, Holcim is also committed to reducing gross Scope 3 GHG emissions per ton of purchased clinker and cement by 25.1% compared to the 2020 base year, and to reducing gross Scope 3 emissions from investments by 25.1% per ton of cementitious materials within the same timeframe. This target covers 66.9% of base year Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services (category 1) and 99.8% of Scope 3 emissions from investments (category 15). Together, 67.2% of base year Scope 3 emissions are coveredLong-term targets: Holcim is committed to reducing gross Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 94.9% per ton of cementitious materials by 2050 compared to the 2020 base year. Additionally, Holcim is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel- and energy-related activities, upstream and downstream transportation and distribution, and investments by 90% within the same timeframe.

[IMG: park-royal-pickering-hotel-singapore.jpg] Home Sustainability Nature [H1] Nature Nature absorbs half of the world’s carbon emissions and is the foundation of our economies and lives.Our Nature Strategy focuses on restoring and preserving biodiversity and freshwater ecosystems. Going beyond traditional rehabilitation, we transform local ecosystems to increase the resilience of our planet and society. QUICK LINKS Nature policy Water directive Quarry rehabilitation and biodiversity directive ESG policies, documents and reports X [IMG: env_nature_dispatch_left_img20.jpg] Biodiversity Our commitment to a measurable positive impact on biodiversity is based on progressive transformative rehabilitation plans and measured by the Biodiversity Indicator and Reporting System (BIRS) – a scientific methodology developed in partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). [IMG: water_kpi_4_32.jpg] Water Freshwater is a finite resource, and we aim to reduce freshwater intensity throughout our operations. We are prioritizing our actions in high water risk areas, tailoring our solutions to local conditions. [IMG: bioactive concrete] Marine preservation As part of our commitment to nature, we are helping protect our oceans and marine biodiversity through industry-leading products, solutions and innovations. Holcim takes a measurable science-driven approach to nature from our biodiversity indicator system all the way to our freshwater ecosystems, while also bringing more nature into cities. Working with leading nature conservation organizations like IUCN, we aim to strengthen our impact for a nature-positive future. Renata Pollini | HEAD OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION AND NATURE AT HOLCIM We’re pleased to see companies like Holcim leading the way by publicly adopting the world’s first science-based targets beyond climate, demonstrating that a clear and credible pathway for ambitious action for nature is possible. ERIN BILLMAN | Executive Director, Science Based Targets Network Partnerships and engagements to optimize impact Leveraging public policy and incentives Publications We support an active role for businesses in enhancing nature. Partnerships with biodiversity experts are crucial to optimize our impact. We advocate collaboration that accelerates action.Holcim was selected by the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) to pilot the world's first science based targets for nature. We were among the first 17 companies – and the only one in our sector – in this pilot. This global initiative aims to set the world’s first standards for ambitious and measurable corporate action for nature.As of 2024, Holcim is one of the first three companies worldwide to adopt science-based targets for nature. We continue to demonstrate our rigorous science-driven approach to nature and commitment to preserve and restore freshwater ecosystems by setting 3 more SBTN freshwater targets in 2025. In total we have now 4 SBTN validated targets and we will now focus on delivering on them.The "Call to Action of Business for Nature", brings together influential organizations and forward-thinking businesses seeking to reverse nature loss. Through this platform, we aim to positively influence policymakers who are discussing international agreements on nature and climate change. Renata Pollini, Holcim’s Head of Sustainable Construction & Nature, is part of the Business for Nature’s Strategic Advisory Group, supporting them to set directions and prioritize actions.We entered a three-year partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2023 to preserve nature and advance nature-positive development in the built environment. “Catalysing biodiversity on buildings”, our paper written in collaboration with Second Nature Ecology and Design and published by IUCN, outlines initiatives from eight European cities that are scaling biodiversity on buildings. IUCN is supporting us with identifying ways to increase biodiversity levels at our quarries, strengthening and updating our BIRS methodology and advising on the protection of freshwater resources. IUCN will also support us in driving and promoting the inclusion of biodiversity into existing and future building standards.We are a signatory of the CEO Water Mandate and the WASH pledge strengthening our water stewardship commitments. We believe businesses have an active role to play in providing solutions for nature. Nevertheless, public policies are key to accelerate actions in this decade to reverse nature loss.For biodiversity, we support the establishment of mandatory rehabilitation requirements in all countries. Those requirements should encourage ecosystem restoration including: High-diversity fauna and floraRestoration based on endemic speciesContinuity with neighboring natural landscapes and spacesProgressive rehabilitation, i.e. rehabilitation taking place simultaneously with extraction work Incentives can facilitate the protection of endangered species, particularly in biodiversity sensitive areas.For a greater impact on freshwater reduction, government mandates and incentives are necessary to promote investment in technologies for rain harvesting, optimization of water use in processes, and affordable low-carbon energy desalination. As we strive to lead on Nature, Holcim regularly collaborates with NGOs and other corporates on high-profile reports to share and transfer knowledge, and accelerate the shift to a regenerative, nature-positive built environment.Climate Champions' Nature positive for Climate actionWWF’s Integrating companies within planetary boundaries reportARUP’s and WBCSD’s Exploring nature positive buildingsSystemiq’s Unleashing a Regenerative Revolution white paperWEF’s Leader insights for nature positive citiesWBCSD’s The Roadmap to Nature Positive: Foundations for the built environment systemWBCSD’s Leveraging the roadmap to Nature Positive - Examples from the built environmentIUCN's Catalysing Biodiversity on BuildingsWBCSD's Avoided Emissions in the Built EnvironmentTNFD's Guidance on Nature Transition PlansForbes' The Boardroom Illusion Hiding Climate and Nature RisksMIT Sloan's Planetary KPIs that inform eco-friendly strategiesPlanetary Responsibility Foundation's Restoring Nature, Re-shaping Industry: Holcim's Path to a Nature-Positive FutureBFN's Now for Nature - Nature strategiesWBCSD's GCP Global Circularity Protocol - A global framework to measure, manage and communicate business circularityArchDaily's Nature-Positive Solutions in Urban Environment [H2] CONTRIBUTING TO UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS We work to have a positive impact on all 17 UN SDGs.

Additionally, Holcim's building solutions can help cities become more sustainable and resilient.</p><p>We advocate for the development of a common framework to measure and monitor the impact of activities on biodiversity and freshwater to allow for better target-setting and the measurement of improvements. Global targets and science-based indicators are essential to provide direction for business. We support the development of frameworks that enable organizations to identify, measure and value their direct and indirect impacts and dependencies on natural capital, including the integration of ecosystem service values in the assessment of natural resources.</p>"

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Information Density
0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence
0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof
0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint
0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority
0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score
0 / 100
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Information Density
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Semantic Alignment
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Trust & Proof
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Commodity Fingerprint
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Identity & Authority
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

22
BS / 100
Holcim provides a rare example of a corporate giant successfully backing high-level ESG marketing with granular, forensic-grade data. While the industry cliches are present in the H4 tags, the actual technical content is dense, dated to 2026, and externally validated. This is not a site built on hot air; it is a site built on measurable, scientific benchmarks.
Info Density
Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

Commodity Fingerprint
Detection of industry clichés/templates.
6
40% BS
Identity & Authority
Expert verifiability & Schema depth.
4
27% BS
To further reduce the BS score, Holcim should replace template-style headings like Our stories with more descriptive, noun-heavy alternatives. The schema_json should be expanded to include Organization properties with sameAs links to official regulatory filings and social profiles. Finally, adding a public-facing health and safety accident record or contractor insurance registry would fulfill the final few missing elements expected in high-trust construction audits.
The site strongly matches the Construction and Building Materials industry. The content focuses extensively on cementitious materials, infrastructure, building solutions, and the high-level governance associated with global construction operations.
“The score of 22 is driven by a very low semantic drift and high proof density. The points primarily come from the Information Density pillar due to some repetitive value propositions and the Commodity Fingerprint pillar where global corporate jargon is unavoidable. The presence of exact numbers and named frameworks keeps the score in the Minimal BS range.”
