Decarbonization: a driver for sustainable industrial development?

With 40% of industrial emissions in Wallonia, the cement sector is at the heart of climate challenges. Transitioning to a low-carbon model is no longer optional — it is a necessity. As a pioneer on the path to sustainability, Heidelberg Materials Benelux recently brought together influential voices to reflect collectively on the future of our industry.

Around the table:

• David Clarinval, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy
• Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, climatologist and former IPCC Vice-Chair
• Frédéric Panier, CEO of AKT for Wallonia
• Geert Janssens, Chief Economist at Think Tank ETION
• Fredericq Peigneux, Head of Public Affairs at Heidelberg Materials Benelux

Together, they shared their insights on the challenges and opportunities of decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.
