Action in D.C.
The Portland Cement Association is the voice of America’s cement manufacturers. Our Government Affairs team works hard to develop constructive relationships with policymakers and agency leadership, sharing up-to-do date information and communicating the value and sustainability of our products, so that together we can build a greener, safer, and more resilient nation.
Our Priorities
Energy & Environment
To meet our industry’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, we work with policymakers and agency leadership to advance carbon mitigation and the use of alternative fuels.
Resilient Infrastructure
As natural disasters grow more frequent and costly, engineers are turning to concrete—made with cement—to create a stronger and more dependable built environment for the nation.
Occupational Health & Safety
We value our workers’ well-being. PCA works closely with leadership at the Mine Safety and Health Administration and Occupational Safety and Health Administration to ensure workplace health and safety.
Carbon Pricing
PCA supports market-based pricing that is fair, transparent and accommodates innovation—with preference for a cap-and-trade mechanism.
