Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction

The Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction was created in 2003 to accelerate the global movement for sustainable construction by growing and empowering a global network of architects, urban planners, and engineers. The Foundation supports architecture, design, engineering, and urban planning innovators who want to change how the world builds. It does this through activities that enable the transfer of ideas and best practices across regions and generations. These include the Holcim Awards, the world's most significant competition for sustainable design, awarded bi-annually, and an international program of conferences designed to spark, interrogate and promote leading-edge thinking for sustainable construction. The Holcim Foundation is an initiative of Holcim Ltd, and expresses the commitment of its sponsor to sustainable development. The Holcim Foundation remains independent from the commercial interests of its sponsor.
