Heidelberg presents Strategy 2030 to accelerate profitable growth
(Posted on 02/06/25)
Heidelberg Materials has presented its “Strategy 2030: Making a Material Difference” at this year’s Capital Markets Day in Brevik, Norway. Building on a strong track record of profitable growth since the company’s last Capital Markets Day in 2022, the new Strategy 2030 outlines an ambitious path towards accelerated growth and profitability.
Heidelberg Materials is one of the world's largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions with leading market positions in cement, aggregates, and ready-mixed concrete.
“After delivering on our 2025 mid-term targets ahead of plan, we remain focused on the future as our building materials continue to be an integral part of the solution to the needs of a changing world,” said Dr Dominik von Achten, Chairman of the Managing Board of Heidelberg Materials. “We are witnessing the biggest waves of capital investment ever. Key megatrends in the world – such as energy transition, infrastructure rebuilds and newbuilds, housing and urbanisation, defence revamping, and digitalisation with an exploding demand for data centres – are driving demand for our products in markets where Heidelberg Materials has developed leading positions. We are in the right places with the right products to capitalise on these large-scale global trends and growth opportunities for sustainable concrete applications.”
“We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter, in which we will continue to deliver sustainable value to our customers and shareholders. At Heidelberg Materials, we can build on the collective strength of our high-performance team around the world. Just over 50,000 people, led by a great management team with the right entrepreneurial spirit, complement their local ambitious agenda with global best practices and a relentless drive for rigorous change, creativity, and innovation.”
“Our company is in a stronger position than ever to further accelerate growth, scale our leadership, and seize the opportunities ahead. We combine unmatched global advantages with a unique footprint and radical focus. This strategic positioning enables us to grow faster and intensify our decarbonisation efforts,” said Dr Dominik von Achten. “We see significant opportunities ahead of us – ranging from operational growth as volumes return and an expanding sustainable product portfolio to cost savings through optimisation and efficiencies – to help us grow faster and more sustainably.”
Heidelberg Materials is committed to a pure-play strategy, reaffirming its positioning as the true global heavy building materials company in the industry. The company continues to strengthen its resilience by maintaining a diversified presence across geographies at different stages of the economic cycle, while optimising its portfolio by prioritising markets with strong growth profiles.
“Through our operational growth and asset optimisation push, as well as our sustainability and digital initiatives, we expect the result from current operations (RCO) to grow by 7-10% on average per annum. In addition, we are raising our original target of achieving a return on invested capital (ROIC) of over 10% and now aim to achieve a ROIC of around 12% by 2030,” said René Aldach, Chief Financial Officer of Heidelberg Materials. “We are accelerating our organic and inorganic growth, through a disciplined approach to M&A focused on high returns in attractive markets and positive impacts to our CO? roadmap and sustainability targets”.
