Building the tallest tower in Africa with ECOPlanet

The benefits of green – or vegetative – roofs and surfaces in cities are many. ZinCo, one of the leading companies in the green roof market that we welcomed to the Holcim family in 2024, is a pioneer and innovator, with spectacular projects all around the world.

Living Tomorrow’s Innovation Campus is one of the largest innovation centers in Europe. Thanks to ECOPact, the project reduced the construction footprint by 58%. And with the help of Hydromedia, the campus’ parking lot acts as a drainage system.

With the deployment of state-of-the-art technology and highly automated processes, the RCO is further closing building material cycles.

Constructing one of the world’s first carbon prestressed concrete (CPC) buildings and achieving significant CO₂, and later dismantling its components for reuse elsewhere.

Using digital solutions, we are creating connected, smart and energy-efficient sites that are complementing our other decarbonization levers.

Since 2018, Holcim has been working with McConnell Dowell and John Holland JV to convert two pits from the decommissioned Kidston Gold Mine to create a pumped hydropower project – a world first.

For us at Holcim, building progress for people and the planet means delivering positive impacts for and thriving with the communities where we operate by contributing to social and economic development.
