Heidelberg Materials announced plans to raise its dividend to €3.60 per share for the 2025 financial year, an increase of €0.30 or 9% compared to the previous year’s €3.30 per share. The proposal will be presented to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 13 May. The company cited a strong financial performance as the basis for continuing its progressive dividend policy, which aims to return value to shareholders. This follows a prior share buyback program launched in February 2024, with €400 million already repurchased and cancelled between June and November 2025.

The company’s share buyback program will continue with a third tranche of approximately €450 million, set to begin immediately after the Annual General Meeting. This tranche is expected to further enhance shareholder returns by 10% compared to the previous year. The buyback initiative, initially announced with a total budget of up to €1.2 billion by the end of 2026, reflects Heidelberg Materials’ commitment to returning capital to investors. The program’s structure includes three tranches, with the second completed in early 2026.

Heidelberg Materials published its Annual and Sustainability Report for 2025, introducing enhanced reporting standards to improve transparency. For the first time, the company voluntarily complied with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), aligning with new international requirements. The report also incorporates climate-related financial disclosures under IFRS S1 and S2, which focus on the financial impacts of climate change risks and opportunities for the company.

The 2025 report marks the first instance of Heidelberg Materials reporting in accordance with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). This framework addresses nature and biodiversity-related risks and their financial implications. The company’s expanded climate and sustainability reporting underscores its efforts to meet evolving global standards. The Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 is available for download under the Reports and presentations section on the company’s website.
