Stakeholder comment

Letter from Ernst Ligteringen, Chief Executive, Global Reporting Initiative on April 20, 2006, The Netherlands: 'Please accept my thanks, on behalf of the global GRI network, for the active role you are playing in creating the third generation of GRI's Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. ... I want to take this opportunity to also thank you for your continuing support for GRI via your participation in the Organizational Stakeholder program.'
Holcim publishes sustainability, environmental or social reports – depending on stakeholder needs – at the corporate and Group company level. We have publicly reported global SD performance for the last five years. Over this period we have continually reviewed our reporting processes and performance management. We are building on a strong framework for the management and reporting of SD performance. We focus on improving training in the application of tools, guidelines and the resources available for data review and internal verification.
Consultation and assurance
The principles of openness and transparency guide our reporting. The stakeholder engagement activities of our Group companies and the stakeholder dialogues undertaken by the CSI or via the GTZ cooperation have confirmed the priorities outlined in our reports. We also seek stakeholder opinions on various sections of our reports and thank those who help us for their feedback, which is integrated in our reports and on our website.

KPMG provided independent assurance over our CO2 data for the 2004 and 2005 reporting periods:
