• The company operates one of the most advanced cement plants in Europe, recognized for its efficiency and environmental commitment.

Molins welcomed today the President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Salvador Illa, to its headquarters in Sant Vicenç dels Horts (Barcelona). During the meeting, the company highlighted its commitment to decarbonization and shared the progress made in its Sustainability Roadmap plan, which outlines the path to reducing its CO2 emissions by 20% by 2030.

We are aware that the goal is highly ambitious, but at the same time, we know that, as a society, we cannot afford to aim for anything less. That is why we continue to push forward with cutting-edge innovation projects that will allow us to develop new solutions. The visit of President Salvador Illa has been an excellent opportunity to share our progress and reaffirm our commitment to sustainable industrial development.”
