What's new

Lafarge recognized HIV/AIDS as a strong economic and social challenge in 2001 and started to work with NGOs, unions, and international bodies to structure its Health approach. As a result, the Group implemented its first programs to fight against HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2003.

Since then, from public health to general well-being, from developing countries to mature ones, Lafarge has rapidly evolved to better adapt to local health issues thanks to the experience it had gained in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Follow this retrospective of a 10-year commitment to Health issues in pictures.

Lafarge keeps up its efforts in Health & Safety. Its determination in meeting its objective to be among the safest and healthiest companies across all industries is now going further, toward individual commitment of its employees.

Taking the opportunity of its 10-year commitment to Health, the Group has launched a Health campaign inspired by the latest citizen campaign of the French association AIDES, fighting against HIV/AIDS. With this "portraits-poster" campaign, which every employee can customize, Lafarge encourages all its employees to push for good, act for their own health and the health of others, and participate in making a healthier and safer environment.
