Our Approach
We are constantly evolving in order to become more flexible in our operations, more creative in our commercial offerings, more sustainable in our use of resources, more innovative in conducting our global business, and more efficient in our capital allocation
We are committed to providing our customers with the most reliable and comprehensive array of building materials. To this end, we tailor our products and services to suit our customers' specific needs, from home and commercial construction, improvement, and renovation to infrastructure, agricultural, industrial, and other specialty applications.
We strive to create value for our customers by focusing on more vertically integrated construction solutions rather than separate products. We foster long-term customer relationships by providing them with reliable, high-quality service and consistent product quality. We constantly adapt to our customers’ needs through innovative products and financing schemes, providing them with solutions for the challenges they face in their specific market and business climate.

Sustainable development is embedded in our core business strategy and our day-to-day operations. We seek to build a smarter world through a simple and focused model that follows three main lines of action:
Enhancing our Value Creation: We seek to increase our operational efficiency through innovation and collaboration, in order to develop building solutions to meet the needs of a world with limited resources.
Managing our Footprint: We contribute to the development of a low carbon economy, helping to address climate change which is one of the world’s greatest challenges.
Engaging our Stakeholders: Our long-term success rests on fostering positive, long-term relationships with key stakeholders.
