    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    In order for Lafarge to reach its 2020 Ambitions, specific processes must be in place and interim milestones must be met. With this in mind, we have formulated our road map objectives. We plan to report annually on our web site against these objectives. Some of these objectives are on-going, some will disappear as they are met between now and 2020, and new objectives may be added. It is through this process that we can continually challenge ourselves, keep our objectives relevant to the ever changing environment, and assure progress towards our long-term goals. To achieve these ambitions, we need to reinforce our governance. Corporate governance is above all monitored through an Ethical Committee, whose task is to ensure that our Code of Business Conduct is applied throughout the world. It lies at the heart of our approach to sustainability and is grounded in our values of courage, integrity and respect and transparency.
