On the METROPOLA podcast, Judita Jančíková, Operations Manager for Concrete at Danucem Slovensko, discussed sustainability in concrete manufacturing. Danucem Slovakia has outperformed European CO₂ emission directives already as the entire company continues to work to reduce the environmental impact of concrete manufacturing worldwide. In the interview, she addressed new innovations such as COBION low-carbon concrete, which is helping build a sustainable future for the construction industry. Our continuing progress and the challenges overcome in achieving these goals were also discussed with Adrian Gubčo.

From the podcast, you will learn how Danucem differs from the competition, how the company actually fulfils its sustainability goals and truly takes real steps for a better future.

Cement accounts for 70% of emissions in concrete, so optimization of its manufacturing is key to sustainability. One way emissions are reduced is through the use of alternative raw materials and alternative fuels, or the production of mixed cements. At Danucem, sustainability is not limited to concrete manufacturing, but rather involves a broader range of projects that promote decarbonisation, including reducing transport emissions. Our comprehensive strategy reinforces our commitment to contribute to the sustainable development of the construction industry.
