Key features of Holcim aggregates:
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD): Holcim has developed a product-specific EPD registered with EPD Australasia1 for its aggregates products, including: natural sand, manufactured sand, customer specified road base, ballast, asphalt aggregates and cement-related products. This declaration provides transparent information about the environmental impact of the aggregates, enabling informed decision-making during project planning and design stages.
- Science-Based Emissions Reduction Targets: Holcim has committed to science-based emissions reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)2. These targets ensure that Holcim’s operations align with international efforts to mitigate climate change, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Applicable Credits
| IS v1.2 | Inn-1 , Mat-1 , Mat-2 |
| IS v2.1 | Inn-1 , Rso-6 , Rso-7 |
| Mat-1 (IS v1.2) | Materials footprint measurement and reduction | This credit requires the design and construction of the project in ways that reduce the environmental impacts of materials across the life cycle of the infrastructure asset. Holcim EPD provides the global warming potential (GWP) for a number of our products. In comparison to the Australian National Life Cycle Inventory Database (AusLCI) available aggregates data, Holcim’s concrete, ballast, manufactured sand and road base aggregates have a lower GWP. |
| Mat-2 (IS v1.2) | Environmentally labelled products and supply chains | This credit requires procurement of materials that have environmental labels. This product comes with an Product specific Environmental Product Disclosure (EPD) which is a recognised environmental label. |
| Rso-6 (IS v2.1) | Material Life Cycle Impact Measurement and Management | This credit requires the design and construction of the project in ways that reduce the environmental impacts of materials across the life cycle of the infrastructure asset. Holcim EPD provides the global warming potential (GWP) for a number of our products. In comparison to the Australian National Life Cycle Inventory Database (AusLCI) available aggregates data, Holcim’s concrete, ballast, manufactured sand and road base aggregates have a lower GWP. |
| Rso-7 (IS v2.1) | Sustainability Labelled Products and Supply Chains | This credit requires procurement of materials that have environmental labels. This product comes with an Product specific Environmental Product Disclosure (EPD) which is a recognised environmental label. |
| Inn-1 (ISv1.2) | Innovation - IC-8 | As the product is listed on the IS ISupply Directory Holcim this can help contribute to Innovation Challenge 8: Sustainable suppliers and ISupply. |
