Within the US we are lobbying the different States we operate in to understand and help formulate regulations for climate reductions at State level. We are also active members within the Portland Cement Association and are heavily involved in any Federal action on carbon pricing [...] Our engagement with local and national regulators, governments and industry associations ensured that we contributed to issues relevant to our activities and improved our sustainability performance.
