Innovative solutions since 1882

FLSmidth has a long and great history dating back to 1882. It tells a story that logically leads to where we are today: heading for the future with MissionZero, our sustainability ambition to deliver sustainable productivity to our global customers in mining and cement.

Even a small discovery can lead to great potential.

This was the belief of our founders over a century ago – a belief that inspired them to use their expertise and passion to enable customers to produce more with less. They changed the rules for processing the natural resources that created the world we live in today. And they could only deliver by attracting the right people to the company – skilled and passionate experts like themselves.

Today, we continue their path by helping our customers in mining and cement move towards zero emissions by 2030. And to succeed, our focus is clear: using innovative technology, digital solutions and strong partnerships, we are committed to building a sustainable future for all of us.

Mission Zero

Zero emissions from cement and mining by 2030. That is the aim of our sustainability programme, MissionZero.

Rising to the challenge Cement and minerals impact us all

The road to a greener future is paved with cement and minerals. Growing populations need cement for housing and infrastructure, and the move to sustainable energy and electric vehicles requires mining of excessive minerals. Increased purchasing power also leads to more consumption of electricity and electronic goods.

Combined, cement and minerals production accounts for approximately 10% of all CO2 emissions. To meet the requirements of the Paris Agreement and create a sustainable world for future generations, it is imperative that we rise to the challenge and enable more sustainable production of cement and minerals.
