Member's thoughts

“LeadIT motivates each member, and we are happy to be one of the founding members in a group that is led by the governments of India and Sweden for heavy industry decarbonization. It is through learning and various partnerships that we have been able to bring down our carbon footprint to nearly 50% of our 1990 baseline and become one of the lowest carbon footprint cement producers globally. But there is still work to do as process emissions, which form 55% of cement plant GHG emissions, require larger consortium and a partnership approach through platforms like LeadIT.
