Hats off to the grey matter péi. With three construction projects, giving pride of place to the environment, the Indian Ocean zone ranks third in the world. This is what the Holcim Awards reveal.
Holcim, un des leaders mondiaux du ciment et du granulat, organise son propre concours. Ouvert au monde entier, il distingue les meilleurs projets de construction. Selon un paramètre essentiel, le développement durable, au cœur de toutes les préoccupations. Les 5 P résument les objectifs : Progrès, personne, planète, prospérité et profitabilité.
