Partnering locally for long‑term impact
Being a committed partner to the communities where we operate has always been part of Lhoist’s identity. Today, this responsibility continues through open dialogue, collaboration, transparency, and a shared ambition to create long‑term positive impact.
Being a reliable partner
We maintain transparent and ongoing conversations with local stakeholders to understand expectations and support initiatives that deliver meaningful and lasting benefits.
Community engagement strengthens local well‑being and deepens our employees’ sense of purpose by connecting their work to a broader impact. By fostering trust and cooperation, we aim to help shape a better future together.
Our four key responsibilities:
Operational excellence
We minimize and manage the local impacts of our activities to ensure responsible and respectful operations.
Social contribution
We support the well‑being of our surrounding communities, with a focus on education and neighborhood initiatives.
Community perception
We build trust through presence, transparency, and consistent engagement.
Employee experience
We encourage employees to participate in community projects and integrate sustainability into their daily experience.
Biodiversity, water management and air quality
Environmental stewardship is a shared responsibility - toward the planet and the communities around us - and is fully embedded into our operational excellence. Each site monitors its impacts on biodiversity, water, and air quality, integrating these priorities into local engagement plans. Our objective is clear: reduce our footprint and contribute to healthier, more resilient environments.
