Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction

The Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction was created in 2003 to raise awareness of the important role that architecture, engineering, urban planning and construction have in achieving a more sustainable future - and to globally encourage critical interdisciplinary and long-range perspectives.

With this in mind, the Holcim Foundation's primary objective is to select and support a range of initiatives that extend beyond technical solutions to creating sustainable construction outcomes which embrace architectural excellence and enhanced quality of life.

Wide-ranging interest spans national, regional and global projects in both developing and industrialized nations. The Holcim Foundation has already made useful progress toward uniting diverse global expertise and increasing awareness of the critical role of the built environment in sustainability. It has achieved this by identifying and promoting best practice and also fresh solutions. The construction projects, visions, and research inspire architects, engineers, planners, developers and contractors to adopt sustainable approaches within their building projects.

The Holcim Foundation feels privileged to be associated with an array of ground-breaking projects and initiatives, and be in a position to share the valuable knowledge and insights that arise from them.
