The Holcim Foundation Awards for Sustainable Construction is an international competition that showcases projects that contribute to sustainable construction and the transformation of the building sector. A total of USD $1 million in prize money is awarded in each two-year cycle.[1]

The competition was known as the Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction from 2004. Holcim Ltd and Lafarge S.A. completed their global merger and launched LafargeHolcim in July 2015. The name of the foundation was changed to LafargeHolcim Foundation, and the competition became the LafargeHolcim Awards.[2] Once the group dropped Lafarge from its name, the Foundation also adopted the new naming. For the 2025 competition, the name was changed to the Holcim Foundation Awards.[3]
