Each year Cementir identify sustainability topics that are relevant to the Group and its stakeholders.
The definition of material topics
In 2024 the Group adopted the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), introducing the principle of Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), which considers two dimensions:
- Impact materiality: the impacts generated by the Group and its value chain on people and the environment;
- Financial materiality: the impacts of ESG issues on the Company’s economic and financial performance.
Our Double Materiality Assessment
In 2024, Cementir carried out an assessment process of Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IRO), which led to the definition of the Group’s material topics.
In 2025, the double materiality analysis was significantly strengthened through:
- increased granularity and more advanced methodologies, particularly in the environmental area and along the value chain;
- expansion of the social dimension , particularly on the value chain and health and safety,
- governance focused on financial, legal and reputational risks related to corporate conduct and violations (corruption, AML, market abuse, whistleblowing).
This evolution reflects the growing maturity of the Group’s due diligence processes.
The Company’ strategy is supported by the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system, which includes the analysis of climate-related risks, and is continuously updated based on risks monitoring and scenario analysis.
The Sustainability Statement is prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) issued by the EFRAG and provides the information on the entire Group, covering the main value chain and the IROs identified across upstream, downstream, and own operations.
The list of material topics, defined by the Sustainability Department together with relevant functions, is classified into Environment, Social, and Governance. It reflects a comprehensive and structured framework fully consistent with the Group’s strategy and provides a complete sustainability disclosure.
Outcome of the Double Materiality Assessment
The outcome was performed in terms of ESRS topic and sub-topic; the sub-topic highlighted are the ones defined as material.

Who our Stakeholders are
We change methods and frequency of involvement of our stakeholders depending on the type of subject, topic of interest and local features. In consideration of the nature of “Holding” of the Parent Company, some of these stakeholders interface directly with the central structures, while others are strictly interested in local activities and the relationship with them is therefore delegated to local management. We work to build a strong and long-lasting relationship with all of them, as we are aware that cooperation is an important and powerful value that enables the Group to better achieve its results, long-term sustainability and improve its positive impact on people and society.
