Summary

Where would the modern world be without cement? Nicolai Tangen sits down with Miljan Gutovic, CEO of Holcim, to explore the transformation underway in the global building materials industry. They discuss Europe's shortage of nearly 10 million homes and what it means for construction, how Holcim is turning sustainability into a competitive advantage, the logic behind spinning off its North American business, and the booming opportunity in Latin America. Gutovic also shares his three leadership rules: control the controllables, fight complacency, and benchmark relentlessly.
