Today, introducing our low-carbon Readymix solution, EcoCrete, we take another bold step forward.

“As part of the first phase of this ground-breaking rollout, which will enable the product’s availability, we have fully converted the Lafarge Abuja Ready-Mix (RMX) plant to 100 per cent EcoCrete production. This demonstrates our commitment to scale sustainable solutions, push the boundaries of what is possible in construction, and align our business with the aspirations of our customers, our communities, and our planet. We are proud to be shaping an industry where growth and responsibility go hand in hand,” he stated.
