Holcim at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum
Jan Jenisch, Chairman and CEO, Holcim
On 8 November, Holcim Chairman and CEO, Jan Jenisch participated as a speaker at the panel discussion "Decarbonization in the Real World". Jan discussed how some carbon-reducing technologies are ready to scale now and which projects are putting them into practice like Holcim's Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) project.
Later, on the same day, Jan hosted a roundtable "Holcim breakout session with Jan Jenisch: Partnering to build Circular Cities” where a diverse group of executive decision makers and circularity leaders — architects, developers, public authorities, technologists, and investors — will discussed how to reinvent cities as circular economies of scale.
We need to rethink how our cities are designed, built and operated. Shifting to a circular economy is our best opportunity to address the growing building needs while preserving our planet's resources. Cities are the place where we can make this shift a reality.
