As of April 1, 2018, the Board of the LafargeHolcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction will be chaired by former LafargeHolcim Executive Committee member Roland Köhler, replacing Rolf Soiron who acted as the chairman of the Foundation since its inception in 2003.

Under the leadership of Rolf Soiron, the Foundation with its US$2 million International LafargeHolcim Awards for Sustainable Construction has developed into one of the most significant global competitions for sustainable design. It recognises innovative projects and future-oriented ideas and rewards projects that go beyond balancing environmental performance, social responsibility, and economic growth, thereby exemplifying architectural excellence and a high degree of transferability.

Jan Jenisch, CEO of LafargeHolcim, will join the board of the LafargeHolcim Foundation, together with Jens Diebold, head of sustainable development, as representatives of LafargeHolcim.

In addition, Brinda Somaya, principal architect & managing director of Somaya & Kalappa Consultants in India; and Stuart Smith, director of Arup, a multinational engineering Group based in the UK, were newly appointed to the board of the Foundation that also includes leading experts such as Maria Atkinson (Australia), Alejandro Aravena (Chile), Enrique Norten (USA/Mexico) as well as Marilyne Andersen, Marc Angélil, Harry Gugger and Roland Köhler (all Switzerland).

The LafargeHolcim Foundation has also revealed the winners of the 5th Global LafargeHolcim Awards. The gold winning project is a publicly accessible water retention and treatment complex in Mexico City. Further prizes go to Argentina, Ghana, Niger and the USA. The LafargeHolcim Foundation was created to raise awareness of the important role that architecture, engineering, urban planning and the building industry have in achieving a more sustainable future. The Foundation is an independent legal entity that is supported by LafargeHolcim.
