ACC has been continuously thriving to improve energy and environmental performance supported by a strong top management commitment.

​

In 2014 the Egyptian government has started a strategy for phasing out energy subsidies.This has driven us to put even additional efforts in improving our energy performance. ACC made the decision of partnering with UNIDO through the industrial energy efficiency program where ACC received support in the implementation of an EnMS complying with ISO 50001.

​

In 2015, ACC participated in an energy bench marking study for the Egyptian cement sector where ACC was evaluated as the top performer within the sampled organizations. This has further motivated the top management in continuing the efforts towards more sustainable production.

​

In 2016 ACC was able to establish an EnMS that institutionalized a systematic approach in managing, monitoring and improving energy performance. These efforts were crowned by the certification through third-party auditing by TUV Reiland.

​

In 23 May 2017, ACC won the 2017 Among 37 entries Award of Excellence in EnMS from the clean energy ministerial (CEM), a high level global forum that promotes policies and programs to advance clean energy. this award recognizes the top ISO 50001-certified organizations that demonstrate exemplary leadership in energy management and share insights that can help accelerate use of ISO 50001 and its economic and environmental benefits worldwide.
