Cement Europe
Mission Statement
Cement Europe is the voice of the cement industry in Europe. Based in Brussels, we represent national cement associations and companies across the European Union (except Malta), as well as Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Serbia is an Associate Member, and we cooperate closely with partners in Cyprus and Ukraine.
Our role is simple yet strategic: we speak for Europe’s cement industry in front of EU institutions and public authorities, and we work in constant dialogue with international organisations such as the OECD, IEA, the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), and sister associations worldwide.

Our campaign pledge
In the heart of the digital revolution, Cement Europe pledges to champion the dual cause of safeguarding the well-being of workers and equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive in the transformed landscape of our industry. Recognising that adapting isn't just about technology – it's about people – we are committed to fostering dialogue, sharing good practices, and highlighting measures the European cement sector is taking. With the rapid evolution of our workplaces, it's imperative to ensure our workforce is not only protected from emerging risks but also prepared with the right skills. We strive for a future where digitalisation in our industry is both progressive and safe, advocating for comprehensive solutions and collaborations at every step.
