Construction is a vital form of energy
Building is a vital need. Advancing building materials is a mission for a leader capable of exerting an influence on the future of its business, of contributing to the progress of the construction industry for all customers in the building and public works, industrial and road building sectors, distributors, prefabricated unit makers, specifiers, craftsmen and contractors. To be a player who is acknowledged, innovative and competitive on all of its markets is more than a mission – it is a vocation.
More than a vocation – a vision
Playing its leading role to the full means thinking ahead to the world of tomorrow. By consolidating industrial expertise, strengthening growth through better acquisitions, developing production innovations and the ranges of solutions. It means, above all, opting for a daring strategy of sustainable development that combines commitment to the environment with social initiatives and a relationship of mutual respect with employees, customers and suppliers.
A vision and a dimension
What do a museum in Rio de Janeiro, a temple in Bangkok and a bridge in Lisbon all have in common? Full marks for getting the Lafarge Group – the right answer. Established in 18 more countries since 1997, in four years the group has doubled both its workforce and business turnover. Interestingly enough, 20% of current managers have lived in a different country from their country of origin during their first ten years in the Group. International exchanges are a major axis of Group human resources policy. Expatriation is a well-managed adventure with support during both the departure and return phases. 500 expatriates of 25 nationalities are currently working in 50 different countries worldwide. |
