Cement Sustainability Initiative

Holcim initiated the World Business Council for Sustainable Development's member-led Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) in 1999 together with two industry colleagues. The CSI now represents more than half the worldwide industry outside of China.

In 2002, the Cement Sustainability Initiative launched “Our Agenda for Action”, a five year work program translating the insights from the research phase of the initiative into concrete action.

Agenda for Action

Work is continuing on both collective and individual company bases. Six task forces oversee the main areas of action which are climate protection, fuels and raw materials use, employee health and safety, emissions reduction, local impacts and communications.

The 2007 progress report describes progress against each of the six key action areas.
