Ambuja Cements Ltd, a part of the global conglomerate LafargeHolcim, is among the leading cement companies in India.
Operating for around three decades, Ambuja Cement has provided hassle-free, home building solutions with its unique sustainable development projects and environment friendly practices.
Currently, Ambuja has a cement capacity of 29.65 million tonnes with five integrated cement manufacturing plants and eight cement grinding units across the country. Ever since its inception, the Company has had many firsts to its credit – a captive port with four terminals that has facilitated timely, cost effective, cleaner shipments of bulk cement to its customers; its latest launch -- Ambuja Plus Roof Special, a special quality PPC cement with advanced SPE technology for concrete that is denser and leak proof, resulting in strengthened roof.
Yet another unique initiative is the setting-up up 27 Ambuja Knowledge Centres (AKCs), a knowledge-sharing platform for construction professionals that includes practical workshops on mix design and quality supervision.
Ambuja made significant progress in the responsible use of resources, be it natural or man-made. In recent times when water has become a contentious issue, the Company maintained its status to become ‘Four Times Water Positive’, through water conservation in the surrounding community and water efficiency in the plants. It also became plastic positive, by burning as much over 60,000 tons of plastic waste in its kilns, equivalent to 1.82 times of total plastic that is used. The Company also generated 4.6% of its energy generation from Renewable Energy sources.
The Company also works closely with communities that live around our plants, through its CSR arm, the Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF) that is present at 21 locations in 11 states, where it implements need-based and participatory programmes in the areas of Water Resource Development, Health & Sanitation, Women Empowerment, Rural Infrastructure, Education and Agro-based/ Skill-based Livelihood Creation.
The Company’s most distinctive attribute is its approach to business. Ambuja follows a unique home grown philosophy called I CAN, that gives people the authority to set their own targets and the freedom to achieve their goals. Its focus has been consistent on two major building blocks that has resonated through its daily operations – Quality (of the product) and Safety (of all those involved in the creation of its product).
The Company’s quintessential ICAN spirit has ensured a product that embodies Giant Strength.
