HBM Nigeria PLC Reinforces Commitment to Sustainability

HBM Nigeria PLC, formerly known as Lafarge Africa PLC, is committed to sustainability and community development, as reaffirmed by its Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lolu Alad Akinyemi.

During a recent media engagement in Lagos, Akinyemi emphasized the company's strategy to invest in local communities and environmental stewardship. HBM Nigeria has steadily increased its annual sustainability spending over the past five years, funding projects in education, healthcare, environmental conservation, community infrastructure, and youth empowerment.

The company prioritizes creating long-term value and positive impacts in host communities, believing that sustainable practices are fundamental to business growth. HBM Nigeria's ongoing expansion projects, particularly at its Ashaka and Sagamu plants, are designed to create significant employment opportunities and prioritize skill development for both skilled and unskilled youth in the surrounding areas.
