Carmeuse maintained its strong momentum throughout 2024, with EBITDA growing double digit year-on-year. This performance was primarily driven by a combination of commercial efforts, an easing of commodities and fuel prices, as well as a close monitoring of fixed costs. In parallel, Carmeuse pursued significant strategic initiatives including the disposal non-core activities, the acquisition of biomass capacity in Brazil, and a continued in-house technological development, notably articulated around CO₂ footprint reduction initiatives.
