CSC gold for Cementbouw Betonmortel BV

Ten new sustainability certificates awarded during InfraTech 2019

During Infratech, Kiwa awarded ten gold CSC certificates to Cementbouw's concrete mortar plants. As a result, all Cementbouw branches are frontrunners in the sustainable production of concrete.

The concrete sector is becoming more and more sustainable. CSC is tangible proof that the concrete sector is becoming more sustainable and is on its way to achieving the climate goals," said Paul Ewalds, of Betonhuis, knowledge center and the expert on sustainable construction with concrete. Anne Wolfsen, director of Cementbouw Betonmortel BV (CRH) adds, "As one of the leading organizations within the concrete mortar sector, Cementbouw sees it as its responsibility to provide sustainable solutions. We can make a substantial contribution to the sustainability goals of our clients, who look at sustainability elements such as CO2 emissions, MKI score, the use of secondary raw materials and circularity.

Demonstrable sustainable production
The CSC certificate makes sustainability demonstrable and is proof of this for buyers of concrete. For both nationally operating companies and regional players, it is important to implement measures to produce more sustainably. As an example, the CSC certificate is valued with an origin classification level (tier level) of 1 in BREEAM.

International arrangement
The Concrete Sustainability Council has defined the requirements and conditions for CSC certification in the Sustainable Concrete Manual. The certificate has international status. There are four levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The actual certification is carried out exclusively by CSC affiliated and independent certifying bodies; Kiwa, SGS and SKG-IKOB.
