Sempio Cement Releases 2025 ESG Report Highlighting Low-Carbon Cement and Safety Management

Sempio Cement has released its "2025 Sempio Cement ESG Report," marking the fourth such publication since 2022. The report outlines the company's sustainability achievements and its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies for the period of 2023-2025.

The company detailed its eco-friendly processes and resource circulation efforts across the entire value chain, from raw material procurement to final product use. Sempio Cement emphasized its "double materiality assessment," which evaluates the impact of corporate activities on society and the environment, as well as the influence of external factors on corporate value. Climate change response and industrial safety and health were identified as the top priority issues, with ethical management, compliance, and sound governance newly included as key areas, strengthening the ESG management system.

Sempio Cement presented six core strategies for sustainable growth: addressing climate change, building a resource-circulating society, fostering a culture of respect for people, achieving shared growth with local communities, establishing transparent governance, and protecting shareholder rights while practicing fair management. In the environmental sector, the company is pursuing fuel conversion, raw material and product innovation, and technological advancements to achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. A significant focus is placed on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the expansion of its eco-friendly, low-carbon mixed cement brand, 'Bluement'.

Regarding social initiatives, the report details the progress of the "3-Year Safety and Health Roadmap" aimed at strengthening company-wide safety management. Efforts to build a safety-centric workplace culture, including expanding on-site communication channels and enhancing proactive risk assessments, are also presented. The company has also advanced its human rights impact assessment and broadened the foundation for mutual growth among employees, partners, and local communities.

In terms of governance, Sempio Cement disclosed the operational status of its specialized committees, including the Audit Committee, Internal Transaction Committee, and ESG Committee, all under the board of directors. The company is also actively working to embed ethical management and spread a culture of compliance through its dedicated compliance organization.
