We are here to help you with the impact that it may be having on your operations and your business plans, and we are ready to discuss any supply chain concerns you may have.
Across the LafargeHolcim companies in the US, we have taken preventive measures to stay resilient and flexible.
As for our own operations, we have stopped ALL non-essential corporate travel. We require 14 days of self-isolation for employees either exposed to COVID-19 or reasonably likely to have been exposed, and we are keeping them informed of COVID-19 developments. We have implemented screening measures for everyone entering our sites and facilities.
We are also limiting human-to-human contact between suppliers, visitors and service providers to protect all involved.
We will continue to monitor developments in this global health crisis and take necessary action.
LafargeHolcim is aligned with and will follow the guidance provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
