of ready-mix concrete in Charente-Maritime, demonstrates our shared
commitment to decarbonizing the concrete production and

clinker cement demonstrate our commitment to adopting innovative
and sustainable practices in our production process, while ensuring

satisfaction and environmental protection.”
