ROCA Industry, the Romanian holding of construction materials companies, a strategic pillar owned by ROCA Investments, listed on the BVB main market with the symbol ROC1, has published its second Sustainability Report, made in accordance with the GRI Standards.

According to the report, the companies in the ROCA Industry portfolio had multiple projects in progress in 2023 with a focus on the ESG component. Among these are the establishment of a strategy and sustainability objectives, the realization of a climate risk analysis according to the TCFD (Task Force On Climate Related Financial Disclosures) international framework, as well as the analysis of greenhouse gas emissions according to the fields of application 1 and 2 (emissions generated directly and indirectly by the activity of the holding companies).

According to ROCA Industry’s 2023 Sustainability Report, the carbon footprint indicators have undergone changes. The measures taken to reduce the carbon footprint produced the expected results, the value of this indicator decreasing considerably in all the companies where they were applied.  

“The year 2023 was our first full year since inception in which we systematically allocated resources and focus to achieve our sustainability goals. We have ensured good governance and implemented responsible practices in all our operations. We have also embarked on an ambitious decarbonization plan, constantly optimizing our use of resources to minimize our impact on the environment. Starting from 2023, we have prepared intensively to quickly align with the new ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) stipulated in the European Sustainability Reporting Directive and applicable from next year”, said Ionut Bindea, CEO of ROCA Industry.
