Schwenk Latvia has made significant progress in sustainability by becoming the first company in Latvia to receive the Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC) certification. This milestone underscores Schwenk Latvia’s commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance.
The Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC) recently awarded two of Schwenk Latvia’s ready-mix plants with Silver level certificates. This recognition highlights the company’s dedication to evaluating and enhancing its sustainability performance across all business areas and the entire value chain.
Jegors Golubevs, Member of the Management Board and Director of Materials at Schwenk Latvia, commented on the achievement:
“Sustainability is at the core of SCHWENK Latvia’s operations. We put great effort into measuring our impact and improving our performance in all business areas and over the whole value chain. The CSC certificate is a valuable assessment tool, helping us identify our strengths and areas for improvement. It also reflects our commitment to customers and other stakeholders to act responsibly in all aspects of sustainability – environmental, social, and governance. Moreover, the connection of CSC certification to well-known sustainability standards like LEED and BREEAM used in building certification enhances our customers’ confidence in their sourcing and value chain.”
Schwenk Latvia’s achievements not only mark a significant step forward for the company but also set a benchmark for the industry in the region. The team is committed to advancing their sustainability efforts and aims to achieve a higher certification level in the coming years.
