As of April 1, 2018, the Board of the LafargeHolcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction will be chaired by former LafargeHolcim Executive Committee member Roland Köhler, replacing Rolf Soiron who acted as the Chairman of the Foundation since its inception in 2003.

Under the leadership of Rolf Soiron, the Foundation with its USD 2 million International LafargeHolcim Awards for Sustainable Construction has developed into the most significant global competition for sustainable design. It recognizes innovative projects and future-oriented ideas and rewards projects that go beyond balancing environmental performance, social responsibility, and economic growth, thereby exemplifying architectural excellence and a high degree of transferability. Jan Jenisch, CEO of LafargeHolcim, will join the Board of the LafargeHolcim Foundation, together with Jens Diebold, Head of Sustainable Development, as representatives of LafargeHolcim.

In addition, Brinda Somaya, Principal Architect & Managing Director of Somaya & Kalappa Consultants in India; and Stuart Smith, Director of Arup, a multinational engineering Group based in the UK, were newly appointed to the Board of the Foundation that further consists of leading experts including Maria Atkinson (Australia), Alejandro Aravena (Chile), Enrique Norten (USA/Mexico) as well as Marilyne Andersen, Marc Angélil, Harry Gugger and Roland Köhler (all Switzerland).
