Holcim donation for tsunami-hit people

The francs from Switzerland will be paid to group company funds set up in these countries in a concerted effort to relieve sufferings and rebuild devastated coastal areas.

Immediately after the catastrophe struck, crisis teams formed by Holcim Group companies began helping local aid efforts. The group companies supplied drinking water, set up sanitation facilities and distributed clothes, tents and food in tsunami-hit areas.
