Sustainability
“As we endeavour to transform Cameroon into the top manufacturing hub of construction materials industry for the Central African region we should aspire to lead through sustainable business practices that guarantee safe and healthier planet for our current and future generations”.
Dr Mukete Beyongo
Chairman and Managing Director, Mboka Cement PLC
Our Chairman wrote down this vision for sustainability that is rooted in high standards of corporate behaviour and driven by a strong sense of purpose to lead sustainable business practices globally. To realise this vision, Mboka Cement is committed to run its operation in a way that we grow business while conserving natural resources, minimizing our carbon footprint, increasing our positive impact on communities, and making a meaningful impact for our stakeholders.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
They serve as a guide in our efforts to leave a healthier planet for our future generations, in partnership with our employees, customers, suppliers, government and society. By aligning our business strategy with the SDGs, we are able to anticipate stakeholder expectations, identify future business opportunities, and future-proof our business. The UN SDGs along with our sustainability framework enables us to create meaningful and measurable progress on issues relevant to our stakeholders.
Portland cement clinker is either interground or intimately blended with specified quantities of gypsum and pozzolanic materials to produce Portland Pozzolana cement. Pozzolanas by themselves do not have cementitious properties but reacts with calcium hydroxide in the presence of moisture at normal temperature to form compounds having cementitious properties. The concrete produced by using Portland Pozzolana cement has high ultimate strength, is more durable, resists wet cracking, thermal cracking and has a high degree of cohesion and workability in concrete and mortar.
Sustainability Policies
At Mboka Cement we constantly strive to raise our standards of sustainability by adopting policies that clearly define our business approach. We have robust policies on Safety, Environment and CSR. There are a few new additions to the list of policies Sustainability Policy, Energy & Carbon Policy, Water Stewardship Policy, Biodiversity Policy, and Human Rights. The launch of these policies is a reaffirmation of our commitment to further accelerate our sustainability journey in these critical areas.
