  2. The Cement Sustainability Initiative • A member project under the WBCSD umbrella • Initially • « Towards a sustainable cement industry »

  3. Cement Sustainability Initiative • Ash Grove Cement (USA)* • Cemex (Mexico) • Cimpor (Portugal) • CRH (Ireland)* • Gujarat Ambuja (India)* • HeidelbergCement (Germany) • Holcim (Switzerland) • Italcementi (Italy) • Lafarge (France) • Cementos Molins (Spain)* • Secil (Portugal)* • Shree Cement (India)* • Siam Cement (Thailand) • Taiheiyo (Japan) • Titan (Greece)* • Uniland (Spain)* • Votorantim (Brazil) • Initiated 1999 – Lafarge Holcim Cimpor • Now 16 companies • Incl. 9 world leading cement makers • 25 % of global cement volume • More than 50% excl. China • Operations in more than 70 countries

  4. Cement Sustainability Initiative - 3 phases Independent Study Planning Action 1999 - 2002 2002 2002 - 2020 Individual implementation Joint projects + Communication and outreach

  5. Joint projectsto develop : guidelines, best practices, reporting and monitoring systems Individual company actions commit to SD implement guidelines set targets & publish emissions Summary of the Agenda for Action In six key areas • -Climate protection • - Fuels and raw materials use • - Employee health and safety • - Emissions reduction • - Local impacts on land and communities • - Communications and progress reporting

  6. CSI framework to deal with Climate Change Joint projects Develop common CO2 accounting and reporting protocol, Share data on fuel properties, Develop common KPIs Individual company actions Use the protocol Set emissions targets before 2006 Report publicly company results and progress

  7. Achievements • Cement CO2 protocol • Used by 94% of kilns • KPI’s to measure performance • Will permit to document trends • Reported performance will be verified by third party • Three companies have already published targets

  8. Cement sector • A good candidate for sectoral approach • Single, standardized products • Single manufacturing process • With a few few variations • Agreed measurement protocol • Performance well investigated • Well documented avenues for progress • Technology available worldwide • Large share of man-made emissions • And growing • Major share of developing countries (75%) and growing • CSI willing to investigate concept further

  9. Challenges / Barriers • Representativity • CSI only 25% of world production • Need to attract chinese players ( 50% of world production) • No worldwide organisation • Effectiveness • How to determine baseline ? • How to demonstrate achievement over B.A.U. ? • How to determine system / process • Sector voluntary agreement or sectoral benchmark ? • Role of UNFCCC and governments
