Dangote Cement Plc has reaffirmed its commitment to driving low-carbon cement production, with Group Managing Director, Arvind Pathak, urging African producers to accelerate decarbonisation while expanding capacity to meet the continent’s growing infrastructure demand.
Pathak made the call after participating in the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) CEO Strategic Dialogue in Madrid, Spain, where chief executives from leading global cement companies mapped out strategies for achieving net-zero emissions and promoting sustainable growth across the cement and concrete value chain.
The two-day summit focused on key industry priorities, including low-carbon construction, climate policy, financing for decarbonisation and the deployment of innovative technologies required to achieve net-zero emissions without slowing economic development.
Speaking after the meeting, Pathak said Africa is uniquely positioned to lead the next phase of sustainable industrial growth by balancing rising infrastructure needs with climate commitments.
