TITAN Egypt achieves dual sustainability milestones for its plants
These major certifications include obtaining Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all cement products across its Alexandria and Beni Suef plants, and the successful completion of ISO verification of its 2024 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory following EN ISO 14064-1:2019.
The EPDs provide internationally recognized, third-party verified data on the environmental impacts of TITAN Egypt's cement products across their full lifecycle—from raw material extraction to production. These declarations enable customers to make more informed, sustainable procurement decisions and meet the requirements of green building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and EDGE.
These achievements, underscored by our recent certifications, demonstrate our commitment to climate responsibility, data transparency, and continuous improvement, marking a significant step forward in TITAN Egypt's ambition to lead the construction materials sector toward a lower-carbon future," said Amr Reda, CEO of TITAN Egypt.
He added, "They enhance our ability to support customers in meeting their sustainability goals, while strengthening our own decarbonization roadmap in line with TITAN Group's Green Growth strategy. This is further underscored by our EGP 227.2 million investment in environmental protection for 2024, representing an approximate 48% increase compared to our 2023 expenditures."
"Verification is no longer just a compliance exercise; it's a credibility benchmark," commented Amr Nader, CEO of A³&Co. "We are pleased to support TITAN Egypt in this strategic shift, as the advisory support serving as an end-to-end strategic partner, from emissions inventory design to audit readiness, reflecting both operational discipline and climate foresight."
TITAN Egypt has undergone a rigorous third-party verification of its 2024 GHG emissions inventory for both plants, with an audit by EUROCERT confirming the accuracy and completeness of emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and selected Scope 3 categories. This provides a strong baseline for future climate actions, as TITAN in Egypt is actively implementing its vision through a focused sustainability agenda that addresses both global imperatives and local challenges. Efforts include increasing the use of alternative fuels, improving energy and resource efficiency, and introducing lower-carbon building solutions.

Nigeria: Amb Mignot addresses Faculty, Alumni and Students at Lagos Business School
The EU-Nigeria partnership was again in focus on July 24 2025, as Amb. Gautier Mignot addressed the faculty, alumni and students of the Lagos Business School (LBS), Nigeria's premier incubating ground for policy and business leaders, nested inside the elite Pan Atlantic University, Lagos. The fireside chat themed 'The EU as a Trusted Partner for Nigeria and the World' was part of a lecture series that had previously taken the EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS to universities in Abuja, Keffi, Lagos, Kano and Sokoto, and still counting. Amb Mignot spoke of a complex world where shared concerns are driving fears as many people grapple with challenges of security, poverty, even hunger. According to him, the world needs to perform a triple transition: green, digital and inclusive, a transition already being championed by the EU. As globalisation makes problems transboundary, collective global solutions also become necessary. 'While each nation bears its own responsibility and should not rely on others to fix its problems, cooperation is needed more than ever,' he said. Noting that the EU serves as model for collective response to shared problems. The EU network of partnerships across the world aims to extend to the world the same recipe for success. 'We think this is in our best interest too: cooperation, equal rules for all, respect for other nations' rights and legitimate interests, respect of rights individuals and shared prosperity with strong innovation capacities,' Amb. Mignot stated. He underlined the EU's role as a reliable partner for Africa, with significant investments in climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and education. He hailed the EU-Nigeria partnership rooted in transparency and mutual respect. 'Your progress is our progress,' he said. Dean of LBS, Prof. Olayinka David-West, said the theme of the lecture was not only timely but also deeply resonant in a world increasingly defined by interconnected challenges that require collective solution. 'At Lagos Business School, we see ourselves as a convening space where ideas, policy, and leadership converge to drive sustainable development. The European Union's commitment to inclusive growth, education, and innovation resonates strongly with our vision to develop responsible leaders to inspire Africa's growth,' she said.
