We Expect That Heidelberg Materials Will Mitigate Higher Transportation and Energy Costs
Heidelberg Materials is one of the largest manufacturers of building materials globally, with the majority of its revenue earned from cement production. The cement industry is a notorious contributor of carbon dioxide emissions, which has made the sector uninvestable for many investors due to environmental concerns. Heidelberg is pioneering investments into carbon capture and storage technologies, along with its peers, to help lower their carbon footprint. Unlike peers CRH and Holcim, there is no indication of Heidelberg diversifying into light building materials.
