Formalized through a memorandum of agreement on April 22, 2025, the partnership aims to showcase Holcim’s sustainable product, Excel EcoPlanet cement, through the development of a graffiti wall that celebrates both creativity and sustainability.
“This collaboration goes beyond supply and demand,” said Sajith Edirisuriya, Holcim Philippines’ head of commercial. “It is about aligning with individuals who share our values on building greener, more sustainable communities. Champ and his team at Alpas exemplify that vision.”
