Glossary: Sustainable development

The World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

 

Sustainable development aims to reconcile 3 major stakes:

  • economic performance,
  • the social consequences of a company's actions (with respect to employees, suppliers, customers and the local community),
  • environmental aspects (achieving a balance between a company's activities and the preservation of ecosystems).

 

Care for employees and communities

Lafarge is committed to being a world leader in:

  • employee health and safety,
  • protection of the environment,
  • social responsibility,
  • corporate governance.

Excellence in our work

For Lafarge, excellence is the key driver of our success. Lafarge's management philosophy, the Lafarge Way, enables our people to develop their talents in a performance-oriented culture.
