Recently, China Cement Network communicated with Dr. Ma Weiping (a former senior executive of Lafarge, Holcim, Italian Cement Western Cement and other groups). Ma Weiping pointed out that it is inevitable that the cost of cement production will continue to rise.

"Cement is a resource-based industry," Ma Weiping pointed out, "limestone, coal and other resources will rise in price over time."

Labor cost is also a major factor leading to the rise in production and operation costs of cement enterprises, Ma Weiping said. It is understood that the salaries and operating costs of employees of major cement listed companies account for about 15%. At present, the cement industry is still inadequate in terms of employee welfare, and making up for the shortcomings in this area is also the key to achieve high-quality development of the cement industry.

In addition, it is the cost of environmental protection. The environmental protection cost of cement enterprises mainly comes from mine ecological restoration, pollutant emission reduction, ultra-low emission transformation and other aspects, which is not only related to corporate social responsibility, but also directly affects the survival and development of enterprises.
