TITAN Group is among the first cement companies worldwide with decarbonization targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Addressing climate change remained at the top of sustainability agenda for TITAN Group and ANTEA, as Ahead of COP26, TITAN Group signed the “Business Ambition for 1.5°C” Commitment letter, joining leading companies seeking to keep warming to 1.5°C and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. At ANTEA we seek to grow by transforming our business, focusing on resilience and innovation to serve our customers more efficiently as we move towards a carbon-neutral world. Our decarbonization strategy includes a comprehensive set of levers to reduce emissions of cement production, while offering new innovative products to our customers that will meet their needs for durable and sustainable building materials, leveraging the Group’s unique assets and competencies.

Titan ESG targets focus on four pillars: Decarbonization and digitalization; Growth-enabling work environment; Positive local impact; and Responsible sourcing, all underpinned by good governance, transparency, and business ethics.

At ANTEA, we promote a culture of openness, transparency, and accountability, which is essential to safeguarding good governance and integrity. We are committed to implement and monitor our ESG performance, utilizing both global and sector-specific sustainability standards, and communicating the progress made to our stakeholders in a transparent manner.

We have continued to strengthen and refresh our Sustainability Strategy, inspiring a better world of inclusion & equity; protecting the environment; and supporting our communities. Our community engagement plans were aligned with the material issues for our stakeholders and the UN SDGs 2030.

Energy efficiency, the conscious use of raw materials and fossil fuels and their replacement with alternative ones, and the implementation of efficient waste management systems are proven means of adding value throughout the value chain as well as providing waste management solutions at a local level. ANTEA thoroughly monitors energy consumption and efficiency to reduce its environmental footprint and curtail costs. As energy management is intricately connected to the sector’s decarbonization roadmap, as well as resource efficiency, the investments during the plant construction phase were performed in low energy demand equipment and in energy efficiency management.

ANTEA Cement successfully addressed the challenges of cement demand both in the domestic and export markets and capitalized its result on such demand. At the same time, ANTEA remained focused on the enduring objective of balanced, responsible, and sustainable long-term growth, embracing change as an organization, and innovating at an accelerated pace.
