Writing the story of Decarbonization
Carmeuse’s dedication to decarbonization extends beyond its internal operations. As a proactive advocate for sustainability, Carmeuse actively participates in various events and initiatives dedicated to advancing the global decarbonization agenda. Whether it’s collaborating with industry leaders, engaging with policymakers, or sharing best practices, Carmeuse is committed to playing a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Carmeuse’s Participation in the Antwerp Declaration: A Catalyst for Change
Carmeuse proudly stands as a signatory of the An-twerp Declaration—a pivotal moment in Europe’s industrial landscape. Alongside 73 other industry leaders spanning 20 sectors, Carmeuse’s Chief Carbon Officer, Ilse Kenis, recently signed the An-twerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal.
The declaration underlines our industry’s commitment to Europe’s transformation. It focuses on urgent industry needs to boost competitive-ness, resilience, and sustainability amid challenging economic conditions. One of the actions includes transforming Europe into a global leader in low-carbon energy and ensuring raw material self-sufficiency.
Carmeuse is committed to leveraging its expertise, resources, and influence to drive tangible progress towards a sustainable, competitive Europe. But we require ambitious policies and robust government support to make these aspirations tangible. Through collaborative action and shared responsibility, Carmeuse, its fellow signatories and the European Commission aim to forge a path towards a more resilient future for all.
Carmeuse’s Global Impact: From Antwerp to Houston DecarbConnect
Building on its commitment to sustainability and decarbonization, Carmeuse extends its influence beyond European borders to make a global impact. Following its participation in the Antwerp Declaration, Carmeuse further solidified its dedication to driving change by actively engaging in the prestigious Houston DecarbConnect conference, North America’s leading industrial decarbonization event.
Houston Decarb Connect is a premier event that brought together stakeholders from various sectors to accelerate decarbonization efforts, where industry leaders shared their best practices for decarbonization projects and spoke about the potential of new technologies and the resources involved in these efforts.
Carmeuse seized the opportunity to exchange insights, share best practices, and forge partnerships aimed at accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future. Through collaboration, innovation, and shared determination, we continue to pave the way towards a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.
“Anything is possible for a committed, well-organized group of people with adequate resources. That is how humans went to the moon and dug tunnels under the seas, and that is how we will tackle climate change”. Ilse Kennis, Chief Carbon Officer within Carmeuse.
