Concrete is more than a building material. It provides homes, it connects communities, it encourages trade, it provides energy, it improves health, it broadens people’s minds.
The most widely used man-made product on the planet needs a global voice. The GCCA is the trusted, authoritative platform and voice for the cement and concrete sector across the world. Our work helps ensure that the views of cement and concrete are holistic and based on robust evidence.
OUR MISSION
Together, we are committed to building a bright, resilient and sustainable concrete future for our industry and for the world.
GCCA members account for 80% of the global cement industry volume outside of China including some key Chinese manufacturers.
Our Vision
Our vision sees a world where concrete supports global sustainable economic, social and environmental development priorities; and where it is valued as an essential material to deliver a sustainable future for the built environment.
Our Governance
The GCCA is a CEO led industry initiative. It’s members, Board of Directors, and Executive team are committed to sustainability – reducing the impacts of cement production and promoting the unique properties of concrete as a sustainable, durable and resilient building material – a material that will answer the needs of a growing and increasingly urban population that is set to exceed 9 billion people by 2050.
The not-for-profit international association has an executive team and secretariat that is directed by the Board on behalf of members to deliver a programme of activity with the support of member led working groups and task groups.
