Executive Summary

Holcim Ltd achieves a Gold tier designation following evidence-based adjudication against the RECI Technical Methodology v2.4, with 13 question-level redlines applied during human adjudicator review (pre-redline initial score: 94.0/Platinum, post-redline: 88.6/Gold). Transparency & Disclosure is the strongest pillar, supported by CDP A List status (4th consecutive year), full TCFD with four-scenario quantitative analysis, all 15 Scope 3 categories reported, and CSRD/ESRS compliance. Assurance Depth is capped at Level 4 due to Limited Assurance only (DNV). Key differentiators include the first cement company with SBTi Net-Zero validated targets (2030 and 2050), a CHF 2B CCUS investment programme across 19 full-scale projects, and Geocycle as a dedicated waste management subsidiary with separate P&L. Holcim is one of only three companies globally with validated science-based nature targets.
