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

Summary of the Agenda for Action (2002 –2007)
Joint projects to develop :
– guidelines,
– best practices,
– reporting and monitoring
systems
Individual company
actions
– commit to SD
– implement guidelines
– publish results
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
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
– Report publicly company
results and progress
Achievements
 Progress report June
2005
Protocol updated 2005
CO2 inventories in 94
% of kilns
3 companies publish
targets + report
KPI’s developped
How we will measure progress
Key performance indicators
– Number of facilities and percentage using the
WBCSD CO2 protocol Guidelines for their
emissions inventory,
– Company-wide total CO2 emissions (gross and
net), tonnes /year
– Company-wide gross and net CO2 emissions per
tonne of cementitious product
Current work
• Streamlining of Clean Development
Mechanism
• Performance benchmarks
• Sectoral approach
Sectoral approach
« A cross border initiative for reducing carbon intensity in
a major emitting sector »

Promotion of technology transfer
Realization of equity
Prevention of leakage
Simplifying CDM
Facilitate efforts in developing countries
Prevention of hot air
Cement sector
A good candidate for sectoral approach
• Standardized products
• Single manufacturing process
– With a limited number of technologies
•
•
•
•
•
Agreed measurement protocol
Performance well investigated
Well documented avenues for progress
Technology available worldwide
75 % cement is produced in developing countries
CSI willing to investigate concept further
