STRATEGY NEXTGEN GROWTH 2030
Holcim has announced its new strategy – NextGen Growth 2030 – to be the leading partner for sustainable construction, following the planned listing of its North American business.
With NextGen Growth 2030, Holcim will leverage our sustainability leadership to deliver profitable growth in Europe, Australia and North Africa, while accelerating growth in Latin America to benefit from strong fundamentals and industrialization trends.
We will grow our addressable markets by expanding in high-value Building Solutions – from building systems to high-performance concrete. NextGen Growth 2030 will drive shareholder value with growth-focused capital allocation and value-accretive M&A.
“Holcim is best positioned through NextGen Growth 2030 to benefit from the powerful megatrends shaping the future of construction. With this new strategy, we are unlocking significant opportunities to drive shareholder value.”
Speakers: Miljan Gutovic, CEO, and Steffen Kindler, CFO.

Post spin-off Holcim financial information excludes the contribution of the North American business and transactions and separation costs in connection with the spin-off.
Holcim’s NextGen Growth 2030 strategy will replace Strategy 2025 – Accelerating Green Growth, following the planned listing of our North American business as an independent company.
‘Holcim’ refers to Holcim Ltd and its subsidiaries in its post spin-off structure, following the completion of the planned full capital market separation of the North American business (i.e. Amrize Ltd and its subsidiaries at the time of the spin-off), which is subject to shareholder approval at the Holcim Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2025 and other customary approvals. All financial metrics referencing historical data prior to 2024 are adjusted to exclude contribution from countries divested as of 31 December 2023. Post spin-off Holcim financial information derives from Holcim’s 2024 Group financial performance from which we excluded the contribution of the North American business and transaction and separation costs in connection with the spin-off.
