In this week’s pod, we were joined by Eoin Condren to discuss "Building with Conscience: Cement's Eco Dilemma"!

Eoin is corporate development director at Ecocem, in charge of the strategic structuring of the business to allow it to take advantage of the many opportunities that it currently has in front of it. He’s been with the company 2.5 years. His background is in finance and he spent 15 years working in real estate, infrastructure and tech private equity, investing in the US, the UK and throughout Europe.

He’s a keen rugby fan and very average player who’s lowest moment has to be the time Dale, a prop, out-sprinted him, a fullback come winger on an attacking move about 10 years ago.

The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:

Companies should focus on using timber where possible, however the
If we replaced 25% of all the concrete consumed in any given year and replaced with more sustainable products such as timber, you would need to cut down a forest 1.5x the size of India
Only 10% of concrete is cement, however it represents 94% of the carbon footprint
When limestone is heated, it degrades into co2 and clinker
Cement production process has not changed significantly in the last 200 year

Join us next time when we’re joined by Jessie Schilling to discuss Enhancing risk maturity in your operating environment.
