️ Lafarge Africa Unveils ECOPlanet Elephant Cement: A Game-Changer in Sustainable Building!

Lafarge Africa Plc — Nigeria’s leading name in sustainable building solutions — announced the launch of ECOPlanet Elephant Cement, a new low-carbon, multi-purpose cement designed to drive Africa’s construction sector toward a greener future .

This launch comes on the heels of last year’s successful rollout of ECOPlanet Unicem, and reflects Lafarge’s bold commitment to sustainability, innovation, and climate action across the built industry.

“No Compromise on Strength, Big Wins for the Environment!”

According to Lolu Alade-Akinyemi, the Group Managing Director/CEO of Lafarge Africa:

“The introduction of ECOPlanet Elephant cement underscores our unwavering commitment to green growth and sustainable development. We are providing customers with choices that are not only climate-friendly but also deliver the strength, durability, and performance Lafarge is known for.”

A Sustainable Edge for Builders & Developers

Gbenga Onimowo, Commercial Director at Lafarge Africa, emphasized that this product ensures a smooth transition for builders who want to shift from traditional cement to more environmentally responsible materials — without sacrificing performance.

“This cement will make a major impact in how we build and how we live. It’s not just about buildings, it’s about better communities and a better planet.”

Sustainable Cities, Greener Africa

With this expansion of the ECOPlanet portfolio, Lafarge Africa is not just selling cement — it’s laying the foundation for eco-conscious construction across the continent. This is a strategic step toward decarbonizing the built environment, in line with global climate targets and Nigeria’s sustainable development goals.
