Breedon urges UK to ‘Back British Cement’ with policy push on imports and carbon

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Breedon ( (GB:BREE) ).

Breedon Group has launched a British Cement Advocacy campaign, branded “Backing British Cement”, alongside its 2025 results to promote the strategic importance of domestically produced cement to UK housing, infrastructure and green energy projects. As a major British cement producer with more than 300 sites, it is intensifying engagement with ministers to counter rising imports and uneven regulation that it argues threaten jobs, investment, and the resilience of national supply chains.

The company is calling for government action in 2026, including a robust carbon border adjustment mechanism, stronger competitiveness measures, faster support for carbon capture technologies and a clear preference for UK-made cement in public procurement. Breedon says such policies would underpin thousands of skilled jobs, support decarbonisation efforts and ensure that public spending on construction delivers wider economic benefits across all four nations.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BREE) stock is a Buy with a £448.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Breedon stock, see the GB:BREE Stock Forecast page.
