Being a reliable partner

Lhoist’s community engagement is an ongoing process of open dialogue with local stakeholders. Our commitment is to address community needs and concerns while driving long-term positive impacts that go beyond immediate outcomes. Engaging with communities enhances the well-being of those living near our operations and fosters a sense of purpose among our employees. 

By fostering trust and active collaboration, we aim to be a reliable partner to our communities, shaping a better future together. 

To guide our actions, we focus on four key responsibilities: 

  1. Excellence in operations: managing and mitigating the local impact of our operations on communities.  

  2. Social contribution: contributing to the well-being of the communities around our sites, by focusing on two priority areas: Education and Neighborhood. 

  3. Communities’ perception: reinforcing the trust of Communities by being a reliable partner and shaping a better future together.  

  4. Employee experience: engaging our employees by promoting our sustainability agenda and encouraging participation in community-focused projects.
