Recycling Initiative

Lafarge Cement's sustainable development ambition is to contribute to a better world as a legacy for our children. Focusing on the environment and concerns about climate change in particular, we organised a trial ‘Green Team' recycling initiative among eight schools in the surrounding communities of our Lichtenburg Cement Works.
